Psalmorum 16
1 Tituli inscriptio ipsi David. Conserva me Domine, quoniam speravi in te.
Michtam of David. Keep me, O God; for I have taken refuge in Thee.
2 Dixi Domino: Deus meus es tu, quoniam bonorum meorum non eges.
I have said unto the LORD: 'Thou art my Lord; I have no good but in Thee';
3 Sanctis, qui sunt in terra eius, mirificavit omnes voluntates meas in eis.
As for the holy that are in the earth, they are the excellent in whom is all my delight.
4 Multiplicatæ sunt infirmitates eorum: postea acceleraverunt. Non congregabo conventicula eorum de sanguinibus: nec memor ero nominum eorum per labia mea.
Let the idols of them be multiplied that make suit unto another; their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take their names upon my lips.
5 Dominus pars hereditatis meæ, et calicis mei: tu es, qui restitues hereditatem meam mihi.
O LORD, the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup, Thou maintainest my lot.
6 Funes ceciderunt mihi in præclaris: etenim hereditas mea præclara est mihi.
The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
7 Benedicam Dominum, qui tribuit mihi intellectum: insuper et usque ad noctem increpuerunt me renes mei.
I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel; yea, in the night seasons my reins instruct me.
8 Providebam Dominum in conspectu meo semper: quoniam a dextris est mihi, ne commovear.
I have set the LORD always before me; surely He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
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 glory rejoiceth; my flesh also dwelleth in safety;
10 Quoniam non derelinques animam meam in inferno: nec dabis sanctum tuum videre corruptionem. (Sheol h7585)
For Thou wilt not abandon my soul to the nether-world; neither wilt Thou suffer Thy godly one to see the pit. (Sheol h7585)
11 Notas mihi fecisti vias vitæ, adimplebis me lætitia cum vultu tuo: delectationes in dextera tua usque in finem.
Thou makest me to know the path of life; in Thy presence is fulness of joy, in Thy right hand bliss for evermore.
