Psalmi 16
Biblia Sacra Vulgata
16 Oratio David. Exaudi, Domine, justitiam meam; intende deprecationem meam. Auribus percipe orationem meam, non in labiis dolosis.
2 De vultu tuo judicium meum prodeat; oculi tui videant aequitates.
3 Probasti cor meum, et visitasti nocte; igne me examinasti, et non est inventa in me iniquitas.
4 Ut non loquatur os meum opera hominum: propter verba labiorum tuorum, ego custodivi vias duras.
5 Perfice gressus meos in semitis tuis, ut non moveantur vestigia mea.
6 Ego clamavi, quoniam exaudisti me, Deus; inclina aurem tuam mihi, et exaudi verba mea.
7 Mirifica misericordias tuas, qui salvos facis sperantes in te.
8 A resistentibus dexterae tuae custodi me ut pupillam oculi. Sub umbra alarum tuarum protege me
9 a facie impiorum qui me afflixerunt. Inimici mei animam meam circumdederunt;
10 adipem suum concluserunt: os eorum locutum est superbiam.
11 Projicientes me nunc circumdederunt me; oculos suos statuerunt declinare in terram.
12 Susceperunt me sicut leo paratus ad praedam, et sicut catulus leonis habitans in abditis.
13 Exsurge, Domine: praeveni eum, et supplanta eum: eripe animam meam ab impio; frameam tuam
14 ab inimicis manus tuae. 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.
15 Ego autem in justitia apparebo conspectui tuo; satiabor cum apparuerit gloria tua.
Psalm 16
New King James Version
The Hope of the Faithful, and the Messiah’s Victory
A (A)Michtam of David.
16 Preserve[a] me, O God, for in You I put my trust.
2 O my soul, you have said to the Lord,
“You are my Lord,
(B)My goodness is nothing apart from You.”
3 As for the saints who are on the earth,
“They are the excellent ones, in (C)whom is all my delight.”
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god;
Their drink offerings of (D)blood I will not offer,
(E)Nor take up their names on my lips.
5 O Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup;
You [b]maintain my lot.
6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places;
Yes, I have a good inheritance.
7 I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel;
My [c]heart also instructs me in the night seasons.
8 (F)I have set the Lord always before me;
Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices;
My flesh also will [d]rest in hope.
10 (G)For You will not leave my soul in [e]Sheol,
Nor will You allow Your Holy One to [f]see corruption.
11 You will show me the (H)path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
