Psalmorum 16
1 tituli inscriptio ipsi David conserva me Domine quoniam in te speravi
Michtam of Dauid. Preserue mee, O God: for in thee doe I trust.
2 dixi Domino Dominus meus es tu quoniam bonorum meorum non eges
O my soule, thou hast sayd vnto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my weldoing extendeth not to thee,
3 sanctis qui sunt in terra eius mirificavit mihi; omnes voluntates meas in eis
But to the Saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent: all my delite is in them.
4 multiplicatae sunt infirmitates eorum postea adceleraverunt non congregabo conventicula eorum de sanguinibus nec memor ero nominum eorum per labia mea
The sorowes of them, that offer to an other god, shall be multiplied: their offerings of blood will I not offer, neither make mention of their names with my lips.
5 Dominus pars hereditatis meae et calicis mei tu es qui restitues hereditatem meam mihi
The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou shalt mainteine my lot.
6 funes ceciderunt mihi in praeclaris etenim hereditas mea praeclara est mihi
The lines are fallen vnto me in pleasant places: yea, I haue a faire heritage.
7 benedicam Domino qui tribuit mihi intellectum insuper et usque ad noctem increpaverunt me renes mei
I wil prayse the Lord, who hath giuen me counsell: my reines also teach me in the nightes.
8 providebam Dominum in conspectu meo semper quoniam a dextris est mihi ne commovear
I haue set the Lord alwayes before me: for hee is at my right hand: therefore I shall not slide.
9 propter hoc laetatum est cor meum et exultavit lingua mea insuper et caro mea requiescet in spe
Wherefore mine heart is glad and my tongue reioyceth: my flesh also doeth rest in hope.
10 quoniam non derelinques animam meam in inferno non dabis sanctum tuum videre corruptionem (Sheol h7585)
For thou wilt not leaue my soule in the graue: neither wilt thou suffer thine 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 shew me the path of life: in thy presence is the fulnesse of ioy: and at thy right hand there are pleasures for euermore.
