Psalmorum 16
1 tituli inscriptio ipsi David conserva me Domine quoniam in te speravi
“A psalm off David.” Preserve me, O God! for to thee do I look for help.
2 dixi Domino Dominus meus es tu quoniam bonorum meorum non eges
I have said to Jehovah, Thou art my Lord; I have no happiness beyond thee!
3 sanctis qui sunt in terra eius mirificavit mihi; omnes voluntates meas in eis
The holy that are in the land, and the excellent, —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
They who hasten after other gods shall have multiplied sorrows; Their drink-offerings of blood I will not offer, Nor will I take their names upon my lips.
5 Dominus pars hereditatis meae et calicis mei tu es qui restitues hereditatem meam mihi
Jehovah is my portion and my cup; Thou wilt maintain my lot!
6 funes ceciderunt mihi in praeclaris etenim hereditas mea praeclara est mihi
My portion hath fallen to me in pleasant places; Yea, I have a goodly inheritance.
7 benedicam Domino qui tribuit mihi intellectum insuper et usque ad noctem increpaverunt me renes mei
I will bless the LORD, who careth for me; Yea, in the night my heart admonisheth me.
8 providebam Dominum in conspectu meo semper quoniam a dextris est mihi ne commovear
I set the LORD before me at all times; Since he is at my right hand, I shall not fall.
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 spirit rejoiceth; Yea, my flesh dwelleth in security.
10 quoniam non derelinques animam meam in inferno non dabis sanctum tuum videre corruptionem (Sheol h7585)
For thou wilt not give me up to the underworld; Nor wilt thou suffer thy holy one to see the pit. (Sheol h7585)
11 notas mihi fecisti vias vitae adimplebis me laetitia cum vultu tuo delectatio in dextera tua usque in finem
Thou wilt show me the path of life; In thy presence is fulness of joy; At thy right hand are pleasures for evermore.
