Psalmorum 16
1 tituli inscriptio ipsi David conserva me Domine quoniam in te speravi
Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
2 dixi Domino Dominus meus es tu quoniam bonorum meorum non eges
I have said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: I have no good beyond thee.
3 sanctis qui sunt in terra eius mirificavit mihi; omnes voluntates meas in eis
As for the saints that are in the earth, they are the excellent in whom 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 exchange [the LORD] for another [god]: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take their names upon 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 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 the LORD, who hath given me counsel: yea, my reins instruct me in the night seasons.
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 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 is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall dwell in safety.
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 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 fulness of joy; in thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
