< 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
[O my soul], thou hast said to the LORD, Thou [art] my LORD: my goodness [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, 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] hasten [after] another [god]: their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take their names into my lips.
5 Dominus pars hereditatis meae et calicis mei tu es qui restitues hereditatem meam mihi
The LORD [is] the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
6 funes ceciderunt mihi in praeclaris etenim hereditas mea praeclara est mihi
The lines have fallen to me in pleasant [places]; yes, 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: my reins also instruct me in the night season.
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 rest in hope.
10 quoniam non derelinques animam meam in inferno non dabis sanctum tuum videre corruptionem (Sheol )
For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thy Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol )
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] fullness of joy; at thy right hand [are] pleasures for evermore.
