Psalms 16

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	EINHEITSUBERSETZUNG BIBEL
1 A Prayer of David. Lord, listen to my justice, attend to my supplication. Pay attention to my prayer, which is not from deceitful lips.	1 [Ein Lied Davids.] Behüte mich, Gott, denn ich vertraue dir.
2 Let my judgment proceed from your presence. Let your eyes behold fairness.	2 Ich sage zum Herrn: «Du bist mein Herr; mein ganzes Glück bist du allein.»
3 You have tested my heart and visited it by night. You have examined me by fire, and iniquity has not been found in me.	3 An den Heiligen im Lande, den Herrlichen, an ihnen nur hab ich mein Gefallen.
4 Therefore, may my mouth not speak the works of men. I have kept to difficult ways because of the words of your lips.	4 Viele Schmerzen leidet, wer fremden Göttern folgt. Ich will ihnen nicht opfern, ich nehme ihre Namen nicht auf meine Lippen.
5 Perfect my steps in your paths, so that my footsteps may not be disturbed.	5 Du, Herr, gibst mir das Erbe und reichst mir den Becher; du hältst mein Los in deinen Händen.
6 I have cried out because you, O God, have listened to me. Incline your ear to me and heed my words.	6 Auf schönem Land fiel mir mein Anteil zu. Ja, mein Erbe gefällt mir gut.
7 Make your mercies wonderful, for you save those who hope in you.	7 Ich preise den Herrn, der mich beraten hat. Auch mahnt mich mein Herz in der Nacht.
8 From those who resist your right hand, preserve me like the pupil of your eye. Protect me under the shadow of your wings,	8 Ich habe den Herrn beständig vor Augen. Er steht mir zur Rechten, ich wanke nicht.
9 from the face of the impious who have afflicted me. My enemies have surrounded my soul.	9 Darum freut sich mein Herz und frohlockt meine Seele; auch mein Leib wird wohnen in Sicherheit.
10 They have concealed their fatness; their mouth has been speaking arrogantly.	10 Denn du gibst mich nicht der Unterwelt preis; du lässt deinen Frommen das Grab nicht schauen.
11 They have cast me out, and now they have surrounded me. They have cast their eyes down to the earth.	11 Du zeigst mir den Pfad zum Leben. Vor deinem Angesicht herrscht Freude in Fülle, zu deiner Rechten Wonne für alle Zeit.
12 They have taken me, like a lion ready for the prey, and like a young lion dwelling in hiding.
13 Rise up, O Lord, arrive before him and displace him. Deliver my soul from the impious one: your spear from the enemies of your hand.
14 Lord, divide them from the few of the earth in their life. Their gut has been filled from your hidden stores. They have been filled with sons, and they have bequeathed to their little ones the remainder.
15 But as for me, I will appear before your sight in justice. I will be satisfied when your glory appears.
