Psalmorum 16
1 Tituli inscriptio, ipsi David. Conserva me, Domine, quoniam speravi in te.
A Secret Treasure of David. Preserve me, O God, for I did trust in Thee.
2 Dixi Domino: Deus meus es tu, quoniam bonorum meorum non eges.
Thou hast said to Jehovah, 'My Lord Thou [art];' My good [is] not for thine own sake;
3 Sanctis qui sunt in terra ejus, mirificavit omnes voluntates meas in eis.
For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the honourable, all my delight [is] in them.
4 Multiplicatæ sunt infirmitates eorum: postea acceleraverunt. Non congregabo conventicula eorum de sanguinibus, nec memor ero nominum eorum per labia mea.
Multiplied are their griefs, [Who] have hastened backward; I pour not out their libations of blood, Nor do I take up their names on my lips.
5 Dominus pars hæreditatis meæ, et calicis mei: tu es qui restitues hæreditatem meam mihi.
Jehovah [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, Thou — Thou dost uphold my lot.
6 Funes ceciderunt mihi in præclaris; etenim hæreditas mea præclara est mihi.
Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Yea, a beauteous inheritance [is] for me.
7 Benedicam Dominum qui tribuit mihi intellectum; insuper et usque ad noctem increpuerunt me renes mei.
I bless Jehovah who hath counselled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me.
8 Providebam Dominum in conspectu meo semper: quoniam a dextris est mihi, ne commovear.
I did place Jehovah before me continually, Because — at my right hand I am not moved.
9 Propter hoc lætatum est cor meum, et exsultavit lingua mea; insuper et caro mea requiescet in spe.
Therefore hath my heart been glad, And my honour doth rejoice, Also my flesh dwelleth confidently:
10 Quoniam non derelinques animam meam in inferno, nec dabis sanctum tuum videre corruptionem. (Sheol h7585)
For Thou dost not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor givest thy saintly 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 causest me to know the path of life; Fulness of joys [is] with Thy presence, Pleasant things by Thy right hand for ever!
