Salmos 16
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
Salmo 16
El Señor, herencia del justo en vida y en muerte
Mictam[a] de David.
16 Protégeme, oh Dios(A), pues en Ti me refugio(B).
2 Yo dije al Señor: «Tú eres mi Señor;
Ningún bien tengo fuera de Ti(C)».
3 En cuanto a los santos que están en la tierra(D),
Ellos son los nobles en quienes está toda mi delicia(E).
4 Se multiplicarán las aflicciones de aquellos que han corrido tras otro dios(F);
No derramaré yo sus libaciones de sangre(G),
Ni sus nombres pronunciarán mis labios(H).
5 ¶El Señor es la porción de mi herencia(I) y de mi copa(J);
Tú sustentas mi suerte(K).
6 Las cuerdas me cayeron en lugares agradables(L);
En verdad es hermosa la herencia que me ha tocado(M).
7 ¶Bendeciré al Señor que me aconseja(N);
En verdad, en las noches mi corazón me instruye(O).
8 (P)Al Señor he puesto continuamente delante de mí(Q);
Porque está a mi diestra(R), permaneceré firme(S).
9 Por tanto, mi corazón se alegra(T) y mi alma se regocija(U);
También mi carne morará segura(V),
10 Porque Tú no abandonarás mi alma en el Seol(W),
Ni permitirás que Tu Santo sufra corrupción(X).
11 Me darás a conocer la senda de la vida(Y);
En Tu presencia hay plenitud de gozo(Z);
En Tu diestra hay deleites para siempre(AA).

Psalm 16
King James Version
16 Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
2 O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;
3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
5 The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
7 I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
8 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 rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
Psalm 16
New International Version
Psalm 16
A miktam[a] of David.
2 I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;(C)
apart from you I have no good thing.”(D)
3 I say of the holy people(E) who are in the land,(F)
“They are the noble ones in whom is all my delight.”
4 Those who run after other gods(G) will suffer(H) more and more.
I will not pour out libations of blood to such gods
or take up their names(I) on my lips.
5 Lord, you alone are my portion(J) and my cup;(K)
you make my lot(L) secure.
6 The boundary lines(M) have fallen for me in pleasant places;
surely I have a delightful inheritance.(N)
7 I will praise the Lord, who counsels me;(O)
even at night(P) my heart instructs me.
8 I keep my eyes always on the Lord.
With him at my right hand,(Q) I will not be shaken.(R)
9 Therefore my heart is glad(S) and my tongue rejoices;
my body also will rest secure,(T)
10 because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead,(U)
nor will you let your faithful[b] one(V) see decay.(W)
11 You make known to me the path of life;(X)
you will fill me with joy in your presence,(Y)
with eternal pleasures(Z) at your right hand.(AA)
