Salmos 16
Reina Valera Contemporánea
Una herencia escogida
Mictam de David.
16 Cuídame, oh Dios, porque en ti confío.
2 Yo declaro, Señor, que tú eres mi dueño;
que sin ti no tengo ningún bien.
3 Poderosos son los dioses del país,
según todos los que en ellos se complacen.
4 ¡Pero grandes dolores esperan a sus seguidores!
¡Jamás derramaré ante ellos ofrendas de sangre,
ni mis labios pronunciarán sus nombres!
5 Tú, Señor, eres mi copa y mi herencia;
tú eres quien me sostiene.
6 Por suerte recibí una bella herencia;
hermosa es la heredad que me asignaste.
7 Por eso te bendigo, Señor,
pues siempre me aconsejas,
y aun de noche me reprendes.
8 Todo el tiempo pienso en ti, Señor;
contigo a mi derecha, jamás caeré.
9 Gran regocijo hay en mi corazón y en mi alma;
todo mi ser siente una gran confianza,
10 porque no me abandonarás en el sepulcro,(A)
¡no dejarás que sufra corrupción quien te es fiel.(B)
11 Tú me enseñas el camino de la vida;
con tu presencia me llenas de alegría;
¡estando a tu lado seré siempre dichoso!(C)
Psalm 16
New King James Version
The Hope of the Faithful, and the Messiah’s Victory
A (A)Michtam of David.
16 Preserve[a] me, O God, for in You I put my trust.
2 O my soul, you have said to the Lord,
“You are my Lord,
(B)My goodness is nothing apart from You.”
3 As for the saints who are on the earth,
“They are the excellent ones, in (C)whom is all my delight.”
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god;
Their drink offerings of (D)blood I will not offer,
(E)Nor take up their names on my lips.
5 O Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup;
You [b]maintain my lot.
6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places;
Yes, I have a good inheritance.
7 I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel;
My [c]heart also instructs me in the night seasons.
8 (F)I have set the Lord always before me;
Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices;
My flesh also will [d]rest in hope.
10 (G)For You will not leave my soul in [e]Sheol,
Nor will You allow Your Holy One to [f]see corruption.
11 You will show me the (H)path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
