Psalmorum 16
1 Psalmus David. Conserva me Domine, quoniam speravi in te.
Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God: for I trust in thee.
2 Dixi Domino: Deus meus es tu, quoniam bonorum meorum non eges.
Thou [my soul] hast said to Jehovah, Thou art the Lord: my goodness [extendeth] not to thee; —
3 Sanctis, qui sunt in terra eius, mirificavit omnes voluntates meas in eis.
To the saints that are on the earth, and to the excellent [thou hast said], In them is all my delight.
4 Multiplicatae 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: their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, and I will not take up their names into my lips.
5 Dominus pars hereditatis meae, et calicis mei: tu es, qui restitues hereditatem meam mihi.
Jehovah is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
6 Funes ceciderunt mihi in praeclaris: etenim hereditas mea praeclara 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 giveth me counsel; even in the nights my reins instruct me.
8 Providebam Dominum in conspectu meo semper: quoniam a dextris est mihi, ne commovear.
I have set Jehovah continually before me; because [he is] at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9 Propter hoc laetatum est cor meum, et exultavit lingua mea: insuper et caro mea requiescet in spe.
Therefore my heart rejoiceth, and my glory exulteth; my flesh moreover shall dwell 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 to Sheol, neither wilt thou allow thy Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
11 Notas mihi fecisti vias vitae, adimplebis me laetitia cum vultu tuo: delectationes in dextera tua usque in finem.
Thou wilt make known to me the path of life: thy countenance is fulness of joy; at thy right hand are pleasures for evermore.
