< Psalmorum 16 >
1 tituli inscriptio ipsi David conserva me Domine quoniam in te speravi
A Miktam of David. Preserve me, O God, for in You I take refuge.
2 dixi Domino Dominus meus es tu quoniam bonorum meorum non eges
I said to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from You I have no good thing.”
3 sanctis qui sunt in terra eius mirificavit mihi; omnes voluntates meas in eis
As for the saints in the land, they are the excellence in whom all my delight resides.
4 multiplicatae sunt infirmitates eorum postea adceleraverunt non congregabo conventicula eorum de sanguinibus nec memor ero nominum eorum per labia mea
Sorrows will multiply to those who chase other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood, or speak their names with my lips.
5 Dominus pars hereditatis meae et calicis mei tu es qui restitues hereditatem meam mihi
The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; You have made my lot secure.
6 funes ceciderunt mihi in praeclaris etenim hereditas mea praeclara est mihi
The lines of my boundary have fallen in pleasant places; surely my inheritance is delightful.
7 benedicam Domino qui tribuit mihi intellectum insuper et usque ad noctem increpaverunt me renes mei
I will bless the LORD who counsels me; even at night my conscience instructs me.
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 will not be shaken.
9 propter hoc laetatum est cor meum et exultavit lingua mea insuper et caro mea requiescet in spe
Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell securely.
10 quoniam non derelinques animam meam in inferno non dabis sanctum tuum videre corruptionem (Sheol )
For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay. (Sheol )
11 notas mihi fecisti vias vitae adimplebis me laetitia cum vultu tuo delectatio in dextera tua usque in finem
You have made known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand.
