Psalms 16

1 A Miktam of David. Preserve me, O God, for in You I take refuge.

1 اِحْفَظْنِي يَا ٱللهُ لِأَنِّي عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ.

2 I said to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from You I have no good thing.”

2 قُلْتُ لِلرَّبِّ: «أَنْتَ سَيِّدِي. خَيْرِي لَا شَيْءَ غَيْرُكَ».

3 As for the saints in the land, they are the excellence in whom all my delight resides.

3 ٱلْقِدِّيسُونَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱلْأَفَاضِلُ كُلُّ مَسَرَّتِي بِهِمْ.

4 Sorrows will multiply to those who chase other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood, or speak their names with my lips.

4 تَكْثُرُ أَوْجَاعُهُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسْرَعُوا وَرَاءَ آخَرَ. لَا أَسْكُبُ سَكَائِبَهُمْ مِنْ دَمٍ، وَلَا أَذْكُرُ أَسْمَاءَهُمْ بِشَفَتَيَّ.

5 The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; You have made my lot secure.

5 ٱلرَّبُّ نَصِيبُ قِسْمَتِي وَكَأْسِي. أَنْتَ قَابِضُ قُرْعَتِي.

6 The lines of my boundary have fallen in pleasant places; surely my inheritance is delightful.

6 حِبَالٌ وَقَعَتْ لِي فِي ٱلنُّعَمَاءِ، فَٱلْمِيرَاثُ حَسَنٌ عِنْدِي.

7 I will bless the LORD who counsels me; even at night my conscience instructs me.

7 أُبَارِكُ ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلَّذِي نَصَحَنِي، وَأَيْضًا بِٱللَّيْلِ تُنْذِرُنِي كُلْيَتَايَ.

8 I have set the LORD always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

8 جَعَلْتُ ٱلرَّبَّ أَمَامِي فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ، لِأَنَّهُ عَنْ يَمِينِي فَلَا أَتَزَعْزَعُ.

9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell securely.

9 لِذَلِكَ فَرِحَ قَلْبِي، وَٱبْتَهَجَتْ رُوحِي. جَسَدِي أَيْضًا يَسْكُنُ مُطْمَئِنًّا.

10 For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay.

10 لِأَنَّكَ لَنْ تَتْرُكَ نَفْسِي فِي ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ. لَنْ تَدَعَ تَقِيَّكَ يَرَى فَسَادًا.

11 You have made known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand.

11 تُعَرِّفُنِي سَبِيلَ ٱلْحَيَاةِ. أَمَامَكَ شِبَعُ سُرُورٍ. فِي يَمِينِكَ نِعَمٌ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.
