Psalm 15 (16)

1 Tituli inscriptio, ipsi David. Conserva me, Domine, quoniam speravi in te.

1 The inscription of a title to David himself. Preserve me, O Lord, for I have put my trust in thee.

2 Dixi Domino : Deus meus es tu, quoniam bonorum meorum non eges.

2 I have said to the Lord, thou art my God, for thou hast no need of my goods.

3 Sanctis qui sunt in terra ejus, mirificavit omnes voluntates meas in eis.

3 To the saints, who are in his land, he hath made wonderful all my desires in them.

4 Multiplicatæ sunt infirmitates eorum : postea acceleraverunt. Non congregabo conventicula eorum de sanguinibus, nec memor ero nominum eorum per labia mea.

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.

5 Dominus pars hæreditatis meæ, et calicis mei : tu es qui restitues hæreditatem meam mihi.

5 The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: it is thou that wilt restore my inheritance to me.

6 Funes ceciderunt mihi in præclaris ; etenim hæreditas mea præclara est mihi.

6 The lines are fallen unto me in goodly places: for my inheritance is goodly to me.

7 Benedicam Dominum qui tribuit mihi intellectum ; insuper et usque ad noctem increpuerunt me renes mei.

7 I will bless the Lord, who hath given me understanding: moreover, my reins also have corrected me even till night.

8 Providebam Dominum in conspectu meo semper : quoniam a dextris est mihi, ne commovear.

8 I set the Lord always in my sight: for he is at my right hand, that I be not moved.

9 Propter hoc lætatum est cor meum, et exsultavit lingua mea ; insuper et caro mea requiescet in spe.

9 Therefore my heart hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced: moreover, my flesh also shall rest in hope.

10 Quoniam non derelinques animam meam in inferno, nec dabis sanctum tuum videre corruptionem. Notas mihi fecisti vias vitæ ; adimplebis me lætitia cum vultu tuo : delectationes in dextera tua usque in finem.

10 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; nor wilt thou give thy holy one to see corruption. 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.
