< Psalms 16 >

1 Preserve me, O God: for in you do I put my trust.
Psalmus David. Conserva me Domine, quoniam speravi in te.
2 O my soul, you have said to the LORD, You are my Lord: my goodness extends not to you;
Dixi Domino: Deus meus es tu, quoniam bonorum meorum non eges.
3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
Sanctis, qui sunt in terra eius, mirificavit omnes voluntates meas in eis.
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
Multiplicatae sunt infirmitates eorum: postea acceleraverunt. Non congregabo conventicula eorum de sanguinibus: nec memor ero nominum eorum per labia mea.
5 The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: you maintain my lot.
Dominus pars hereditatis meae, et calicis mei: tu es, qui restitues hereditatem meam mihi.
6 The lines are fallen to me in pleasant places; yes, I have a goodly heritage.
Funes ceciderunt mihi in praeclaris: etenim hereditas mea praeclara est mihi.
7 I will bless the LORD, who has given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
Benedicam Dominum, qui tribuit mihi intellectum: insuper et usque ad noctem increpuerunt me renes mei.
8 I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Providebam Dominum in conspectu meo semper: quoniam a dextris est mihi, ne commovear.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
Propter hoc laetatum est cor meum, et exultavit lingua mea: insuper et caro mea requiescet in spe.
10 For you will not leave my soul in hell; neither will you suffer your Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
Quoniam non derelinques animam meam in inferno: nec dabis sanctum tuum videre corruptionem. (Sheol h7585)
11 You will show me the path of life: in your presence is fullness of joy; at your right hand there are pleasures for ever more.
Notas mihi fecisti vias vitae, adimplebis me laetitia cum vultu tuo: delectationes in dextera tua usque in finem.
