Psalmorum 16
1 Tituli inscriptio, ipsi David. Conserva me, Domine, quoniam speravi in te.
Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God; for in thee do I take refuge.
2 Dixi Domino: Deus meus es tu, quoniam bonorum meorum non eges.
[O my soul], thou hast said unto Jehovah, Thou art my Lord: I have no good beyond thee.
3 Sanctis qui sunt in terra ejus, mirificavit omnes voluntates meas in eis.
As for the saints 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.
Their sorrows shall be multiplied that give gifts for another [god]: Their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, Nor take their names upon my lips.
5 Dominus pars hæreditatis meæ, et calicis mei: tu es qui restitues hæreditatem meam mihi.
Jehovah is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: Thou maintainest my lot.
6 Funes ceciderunt mihi in præclaris; etenim hæreditas 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 Jehovah, who hath given me counsel; Yea, my heart instructeth me in the night seasons.
8 Providebam Dominum in conspectu meo semper: quoniam a dextris est mihi, ne commovear.
I have set Jehovah always before me: Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9 Propter hoc lætatum est cor meum, et exsultavit lingua mea; insuper et caro mea requiescet in spe.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: My flesh also shall dwell in safety.
10 Quoniam non derelinques animam meam in inferno, nec dabis sanctum tuum videre corruptionem. (Sheol h7585)
For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol; Neither wilt thou suffer thy holy one to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
11 Notas mihi fecisti vias vitæ; adimplebis me lætitia cum vultu tuo: delectationes in dextera tua usque in finem.
Thou wilt show me the path of life: In thy presence is fulness of joy; In thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
