Psalmorum 16
1 Tituli inscriptio, ipsi David. Conserva me, Domine, quoniam speravi in te.
A Precious Psalm of David. Preserve me, O GOD, for I have sought refuge in thee.
2 Dixi Domino: Deus meus es tu, quoniam bonorum meorum non eges.
Thou hast said unto Yahweh, My Lord, art thou! My goodness, mounteth not unto thee.
3 Sanctis qui sunt in terra ejus, mirificavit omnes voluntates meas in eis.
It belongeth unto the holy ones, whom, in his own land, Yahweh, ennobleth, In whom is all his delight
4 Multiplicatæ sunt infirmitates eorum: postea acceleraverunt. Non congregabo conventicula eorum de sanguinibus, nec memor ero nominum eorum per labia mea.
They multiply their idols—another, have they purchased! I will not pour out their drink-offerings of blood, nor will I take up their names on my lips.
5 Dominus pars hæreditatis meæ, et calicis mei: tu es qui restitues hæreditatem meam mihi.
Yahweh, is mine allotted portion and my cup, Thou, art maintaining my lot.
6 Funes ceciderunt mihi in præclaris; etenim hæreditas mea præclara est mihi.
The lines, have fallen unto me, in pleasant places, Verily an inheritance that delighteth me.
7 Benedicam Dominum qui tribuit mihi intellectum; insuper et usque ad noctem increpuerunt me renes mei.
I will bless Yahweh, who hath counselled me, —Surely, by night, shall mine impulses admonish me.
8 Providebam Dominum in conspectu meo semper: quoniam a dextris est mihi, ne commovear.
I have set Yahweh before me continually, because he is on my right hand, I shall not be shaken!
9 Propter hoc lætatum est cor meum, et exsultavit lingua mea; insuper et caro mea requiescet in spe.
Therefore, hath my heart rejoiced, and mine honour exulted, Yea, my flesh, shall settle down securely;
10 Quoniam non derelinques animam meam in inferno, nec dabis sanctum tuum videre corruptionem. (Sheol h7585)
For thou wilt not abandon my soul to hades, neither wilt thou suffer thy man of lovingkindness, 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 cause me to know, the path of life, —Fulness of joys before thee, Pleasures at thy right hand evermore.
