Psalms 16
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Michtam of David. Keep me, O God; for I have taken refuge in Thee.
1Oratio David. [Exaudi, Domine, justitiam meam; intende deprecationem meam. Auribus percipe orationem meam, non in labiis dolosis.
2I have said unto the LORD: 'Thou art my Lord; I have no good but in Thee';
2De vultu tuo judicium meum prodeat; oculi tui videant æquitates.
3As for the holy that are in the earth, they are the excellent in whom is all my delight.
3Probasti cor meum, et visitasti nocte; igne me examinasti, et non est inventa in me iniquitas.
4Let the idols of them be multiplied that make suit unto another; their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take their names upon my lips.
4Ut non loquatur os meum opera hominum: propter verba labiorum tuorum, ego custodivi vias duras.
5O LORD, the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup, Thou maintainest my lot.
5Perfice gressus meos in semitis tuis, ut non moveantur vestigia mea.
6The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
6Ego clamavi, quoniam exaudisti me, Deus; inclina aurem tuam mihi, et exaudi verba mea.
7I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel; yea, in the night seasons my reins instruct me.
7Mirifica misericordias tuas, qui salvos facis sperantes in te.
8I have set the LORD always before me; surely He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
8A resistentibus dexteræ tuæ custodi me ut pupillam oculi. Sub umbra alarum tuarum protege me
9Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth; my flesh also dwelleth in safety;
9a facie impiorum qui me afflixerunt. Inimici mei animam meam circumdederunt;
10For Thou wilt not abandon my soul to the nether-world; neither wilt Thou suffer Thy godly one to see the pit.
10adipem suum concluserunt: os eorum locutum est superbiam.
11Thou makest me to know the path of life; in Thy presence is fulness of joy, in Thy right hand bliss for evermore.
11Projicientes me nunc circumdederunt me; oculos suos statuerunt declinare in terram.

14ab inimicis manus tuæ. Domine, a paucis de terra divide eos in vita eorum; de absconditis tuis adimpletus est venter eorum. Saturati sunt filiis, et dimiserunt reliquias suas parvulis suis.
