Psalms 16

Douai-Rheims	New American Bible
¹ The inscription of a title to David himself. Preserve me, O Lord, for I have put trust in thee.	¹ A miktam of David. Keep me safe, O God; in you I take refuge
² I have said to the Lord, thou art my God, for thou hast no need of my goods.	² I say to the Lord, you are my Lord, you are my only good.
³ To the saints, who are in his land, he hath made wonderful all my desires in them.	³ Worthless are all the false gods of the land. Accursed are all who delight in them.
⁴ Their 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.	⁴ They multiply their sorrows who court other gods. Blood libations to them I will not pour out, nor will I take their names upon my lips.
⁵ The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: it is thou that wilt restore my inheritance to me.	⁵ LORD, my allotted portion and my cup, you have made my destiny secure.
⁶ The lines are fallen unto me in goodly places: for my inheritance is goodly to me.	⁶ Pleasant places were measured out for me; fair to me indeed is my inheritance.
⁷ I will bless the Lord, who hath given me understanding: moreover my reins also have corrected me even till night.	⁷ I bless the LORD who counsels me; even at night my heart exhorts me.
⁸ I set the Lord always in my sight: for he is at my right hand, that I be not moved.	⁸ I keep the LORD always before me; with the Lord at my right, I shall never be shaken.
⁹ Therefore my heart hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced: moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope.	⁹ Therefore my heart is glad, my soul rejoices; my body also dwells secure,
¹⁰ Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; nor wilt then give thy holy one to see corruption.	¹⁰ For you will not abandon me to Sheol, nor let your faithful servant see the pit.
¹¹ Thou 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.	¹¹ You will show me the path to life, abounding joy in your presence, the delights at your right hand forever.
