Psalmorum 16
1 tituli inscriptio ipsi David conserva me Domine quoniam in te speravi
A Secret Treasure of David. Preserve me, O God, for I did trust in Thee.
2 dixi Domino Dominus meus es tu quoniam bonorum meorum non eges
Thou hast said to Jehovah, 'My Lord Thou [art];' My good [is] not for thine own sake;
3 sanctis qui sunt in terra eius mirificavit mihi; omnes voluntates meas in eis
For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the honourable, all my delight [is] in them.
4 multiplicatae sunt infirmitates eorum postea adceleraverunt non congregabo conventicula eorum de sanguinibus nec memor ero nominum eorum per labia mea
Multiplied are their griefs, [Who] have hastened backward; I pour not out their libations of blood, Nor do I take up their names on my lips.
5 Dominus pars hereditatis meae et calicis mei tu es qui restitues hereditatem meam mihi
Jehovah [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, Thou — Thou dost uphold my lot.
6 funes ceciderunt mihi in praeclaris etenim hereditas mea praeclara est mihi
Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Yea, a beauteous inheritance [is] for me.
7 benedicam Domino qui tribuit mihi intellectum insuper et usque ad noctem increpaverunt me renes mei
I bless Jehovah who hath counselled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me.
8 providebam Dominum in conspectu meo semper quoniam a dextris est mihi ne commovear
I did place Jehovah before me continually, Because — at my right hand I am not moved.
9 propter hoc laetatum est cor meum et exultavit lingua mea insuper et caro mea requiescet in spe
Therefore hath my heart been glad, And my honour doth rejoice, Also my flesh dwelleth confidently:
10 quoniam non derelinques animam meam in inferno non dabis sanctum tuum videre corruptionem (Sheol h7585)
For Thou dost not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor givest thy saintly 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 causest me to know the path of life; Fulness of joys [is] with Thy presence, Pleasant things by Thy right hand for ever!
