Psalmorum 16
1 Tituli inscriptio ipsi David. Conserva me Domine, quoniam speravi in te.
A Miktam of David. Preserve me, O God, for in You I take refuge.
2 Dixi Domino: Deus meus es tu, quoniam bonorum meorum non eges.
I said to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from You I have no good thing.”
3 Sanctis, qui sunt in terra eius, mirificavit omnes voluntates meas in eis.
As for the saints in the land, they are the excellence in whom all my delight resides.
4 Multiplicatæ sunt infirmitates eorum: postea acceleraverunt. Non congregabo conventicula eorum de sanguinibus: nec memor ero nominum eorum per labia mea.
Sorrows will multiply to those who chase other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood, or speak their names with my lips.
5 Dominus pars hereditatis meæ, et calicis mei: tu es, qui restitues hereditatem meam mihi.
The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; You have made my lot secure.
6 Funes ceciderunt mihi in præclaris: etenim hereditas mea præclara est mihi.
The lines of my boundary have fallen in pleasant places; surely my inheritance is delightful.
7 Benedicam Dominum, qui tribuit mihi intellectum: insuper et usque ad noctem increpuerunt me renes mei.
I will bless the LORD who counsels me; even at night my conscience instructs me.
8 Providebam Dominum in conspectu meo semper: quoniam a dextris est mihi, ne commovear.
I have set the LORD always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
9 Propter hoc lætatum est cor meum, et exultavit lingua mea: insuper et caro mea requiescet in spe.
Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell securely.
10 Quoniam non derelinques animam meam in inferno: nec dabis sanctum tuum videre corruptionem. (Sheol h7585)
For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay. (Sheol h7585)
11 Notas mihi fecisti vias vitæ, adimplebis me lætitia cum vultu tuo: delectationes in dextera tua usque in finem.
You have made known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand.
