Psalms 16

Douai-Rheims	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
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. Preserve me, O God, for in thee 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, "Thou art my Lord; I have no good apart from thee."
³ To the saints, who are in his land, he hath made wonderful all my desires in them.	³ As for the saints in the land, they are the noble, in whom is all my delight.
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 Those who choose another god multiply their sorrows; their libations of blood I will not pour out or 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 The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; thou holdest my lot.
⁶ The lines are fallen unto me in goodly places: for my inheritance is goodly to me.	⁶ The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
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 gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs 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; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
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, and 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 thou dost not give me up to Sheol, or let thy godly one 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 Thou dost show me the path of life; in thy presence there is fulness of joy, in thy right hand are pleasures for evermore.
