< 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 h7585)
For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay. (Sheol h7585)
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.
