Psalmorum 16
1 tituli inscriptio ipsi David conserva me Domine quoniam in te speravi
Preserve me, O God: for in you do I put my trust.
2 dixi Domino Dominus meus es tu quoniam bonorum meorum non eges
O my soul, you have said to the LORD, You are my Lord: my goodness extends not to you;
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 up 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: you maintain my lot.
6 funes ceciderunt mihi in praeclaris etenim hereditas mea praeclara est mihi
The lines are 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 has given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
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 rejoices: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
10 quoniam non derelinques animam meam in inferno non dabis sanctum tuum videre corruptionem (Sheol h7585)
For you will not leave my soul in hell; neither will you suffer your Holy 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
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.
