Salmos 16
1 Guárdame, oh Dios, porque en ti he puesto mi fe.
God, protect me because I go to you to keep me safe!
2 Oh alma mía, dijiste al Señor: Tú eres mi Señor; mi bien, nada es comparable a ti.
I said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord; all the good things that I have come from you.”
3 En cuanto a los santos que están en la tierra, y los íntegros está todo mi deleite.
Your people who live in this land are wonderful; I delight to be with them.
4 ¡Se aumentarán sus dolores, quienes irán tras otro dios; jamás seré parte de sus sacrificios sangrientos! ni pronunciaré sus nombres con 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 Tú Señor eres la porción de mi herencia y de mi copa, Tú me colmas de bendiciones, mi vida está en tus manos.
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 Justos son los lugares marcados para mí; la herencia que me ha tocado ha sido un patrimonio hermoso.
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 Alabaré al Señor que ha sido mi guía; y en lo íntimo de mi ser me corrige por las noches.
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 He puesto al Señor delante de mí todo el tiempo; porque él está en mi diestra, nada me hará caer.
I know that Yahweh is always with me. He is beside me; so nothing will (perturb me/cause me to be worried).
9 Debido a esto, mi corazón está contento, y se gozó mi alma, mi ser descansa confiadamente también.
Therefore I am glad and I [MTY, DOU] rejoice; I can rest securely
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 el camino de la vida; donde estás, la alegría está completa; en tu diestra hay placeres, dichas, delicias por los siglos de los siglos.
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).
