Salmos 16
1 Guárdame, oh ʼElohim, porque en Ti me refugio.
God, protect me because I go to you to keep me safe!
2 Dije a Yavé: Tú eres mi ʼAdonay. No tengo bien fuera de Ti.
I said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord; all the good things that I have come from you.”
3 Para los santos y los íntegros que están en la tierra Es toda mi complacencia.
Your people who live in this land are wonderful; I delight to be with them.
4 Multiplicarán sus dolores los que sirven a otro ʼelohim. No derramaré sus libaciones de sangre, Ni estarán sus nombres en mis labios.
Those who choose to worship other gods will have many things that cause them to be sad. I will not join them when they make sacrifices [to their gods]; I will not even join them when they speak [MTY] the names of their gods.
5 Yavé es la porción de mi herencia y de mi copa. Tú sustentas firmemente mi parcela.
Yahweh, you are the one whom I have chosen, and you give me great blessings. You protect me and control what happens to me.
6 Las cuerdas me cayeron en lugares deleitosos Y es hermosa la heredad que me corresponde.
Yahweh has given me a wonderful place in which to live; I am delighted with all the things that he has given me [MET].
7 Bendeciré a Yavé que me aconseja, Aun en las noches me corrige las partes más íntimas de mi personalidad.
I will praise Yahweh, the one who teaches/disciplines me; even at night [he] you put in my mind what is right for me to do.
8 A Yavé coloqué continuamente delante de mí. Porque está a mi derecha, no seré movido.
I know that Yahweh is always with me. He is beside me; so nothing will (perturb me/cause me to be worried).
9 Por lo cual se alegra mi corazón, Y se regocija mi gloria. Mi cuerpo reposará también confiadamente,
Therefore I am glad and I [MTY, DOU] rejoice; I can rest securely
10 Porque no abandonarás mi alma en el Seol, Ni permitirás que tu Santo experimente corrupción. (Sheol h7585)
because you, Yahweh, will not allow my soul/spirit to remain in the place where the dead people are; you will not allow me, your godly one, to stay there. (Sheol h7585)
11 Me mostrarás la senda de la vida. En tu Presencia hay plenitud de gozo, Delicias a tu mano derecha para siempre.
You will show me the road that leads to [receiving eternal] life, and you will make me joyful when I am with you. I will have pleasure forever when I am (at your right hand/seated next to you).
