Psalmorum 16
1 tituli inscriptio ipsi David conserva me Domine quoniam in te speravi
Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God: for I trust in thee.
2 dixi Domino Dominus 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 mihi; 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 adceleraverunt 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 Domino qui tribuit mihi intellectum insuper et usque ad noctem increpaverunt 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 non 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 delectatio 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.
