圣咏集 16

1The inscription of a title to David himself. Preserve me, O Lord, for I have put trust in thee.

2I have said to the Lord, thou art my God, for thou hast no need of my goods.

3To the saints, who are in his land, he hath made wonderful all my desires in them.

4Their infirmities were multiplied: afterwards they made haste. I will not gather together their meetings for blood offerings: nor will I be mindful of their names by my lips.

5The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: it is thou that wilt restore my inheritance to me.

6The lines are fallen unto me in goodly places: for my inheritance is goodly to me.

7I will bless the Lord, who hath given me understanding: moreover my reins also have corrected me even till night.

8I set the Lord always in my sight: for he is at my right hand, that I be not moved.

9Therefore my heart hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced: moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope.

10Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; nor wilt then give thy holy one to see corruption.

11Thou hast made known to me the ways of life, thou shalt fill me with joy with thy countenance: at thy right hand are delights even to the end.

1Tituli inscriptio, ipsi David. [Conserva me, Domine, quoniam speravi in te.

2Dixi Domino: Deus meus es tu, quoniam bonorum meorum non eges.

3Sanctis qui sunt in terra ejus, mirificavit omnes voluntates meas in eis.

4Multiplicatæ sunt infirmitates eorum: postea acceleraverunt. Non congregabo conventicula eorum de sanguinibus, nec memor ero nominum eorum per labia mea.

5Dominus pars hæreditatis meæ, et calicis mei: tu es qui restitues hæreditatem meam mihi.

6Funes ceciderunt mihi in præclaris; etenim hæreditas mea præclara est mihi.

7Benedicam Dominum qui tribuit mihi intellectum; insuper et usque ad noctem increpuerunt me renes mei.

8Providebam Dominum in conspectu meo semper: quoniam a dextris est mihi, ne commovear.

9Propter hoc lætatum est cor meum, et exsultavit lingua mea; insuper et caro mea requiescet in spe.

10Quoniam non derelinques animam meam in inferno, nec dabis sanctum tuum videre corruptionem. Notas mihi fecisti vias vitæ; adimplebis me lætitia cum vultu tuo: delectationes in dextera tua usque in finem.]

1The inscription of a title: of David himself. Preserve me, O Lord, because I have hoped in you.

2I have said to the Lord: “You are my God, so you have no need of my goodness.”

3As for the saints, who are in his land: he has made all my desires wonderful in them.

4Their infirmities have been multiplied; after this, they acted more quickly. I will not gather for their convocations of blood, nor will I remember their names with my lips.

5The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and my cup. It is you who will restore my inheritance to me.

6The lots have fallen upon me with clarity. And, indeed, my inheritance has been very clear to me.

7I will bless the Lord, who has bestowed understanding upon me. Moreover, my temperament has also corrected me, even through the night.

8I have made provision for the Lord always in my sight. For he is at my right hand, so that I may not be disturbed.

9Because of this, my heart has been joyful, and my tongue has exulted. Moreover, even my body will rest in hope.

10For you will not abandon my soul to Hell, nor will you allow your holy one to see corruption.

11You have made known to me the ways of life; you will fill me with joy by your countenance. At your right hand are delights, even to the end.
