Psalmorum 16
1 Tituli inscriptio, ipsi David. Conserva me, Domine, quoniam speravi in te.
Preserve me, O God: for in you do I put my trust.
2 Dixi Domino: Deus meus es tu, quoniam bonorum meorum non eges.
O my soul, you have said to the LORD, You are my Lord: my goodness extends not to you;
3 Sanctis qui sunt in terra ejus, mirificavit omnes voluntates meas in eis.
But to the saints that are in the earth, and to 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 hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
5 Dominus pars hæreditatis meæ, et calicis mei: tu es qui restitues hæreditatem meam mihi.
The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: you maintain my lot.
6 Funes ceciderunt mihi in præclaris; etenim hæreditas mea præclara est mihi.
The lines are fallen to me in pleasant places; yes, 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 has given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
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 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 rejoices: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
10 Quoniam non derelinques animam meam in inferno, nec dabis sanctum tuum videre corruptionem. (Sheol h7585)
For you will not leave my soul in hell; neither will you suffer your 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.
You will show me the path of life: in your presence is fullness of joy; at your right hand there are pleasures for ever more.
