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 put my trust.
2 Dixi Domino: Deus meus es tu, quoniam bonorum meorum non eges.
[O my soul], thou hast said to the LORD, Thou [art] my LORD: my goodness [extendeth] not to thee;
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 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: thou maintainest my lot.
6 Funes ceciderunt mihi in præclaris; etenim hæreditas mea præclara est mihi.
The lines have 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 hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night season.
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 rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
10 Quoniam non derelinques animam meam in inferno, nec dabis sanctum tuum videre corruptionem. (Sheol h7585)
For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; 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] fullness of joy; at thy right hand [are] pleasures for evermore.
