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).
Yo dije al Señor: «Tú eres mi Señor;
Ningún bien tengo fuera de Ti(C)».
En cuanto a los santos que están en la tierra(D),
Ellos son los nobles en quienes está toda mi delicia(E).
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).
¶El Señor es la porción de mi herencia(I) y de mi copa(J);
Tú sustentas mi suerte(K).
Las cuerdas me cayeron en lugares agradables(L);
En verdad es hermosa la herencia que me ha tocado(M).
¶Bendeciré al Señor que me aconseja(N);
En verdad, en las noches mi corazón me instruye(O).
(P)Al Señor he puesto continuamente delante de mí(Q);
Porque está a mi diestra(R), permaneceré firme(S).
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).

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.

O my soul, you have said to the Lord,
“You are my Lord,
(B)My goodness is nothing apart from You.”
As for the saints who are on the earth,
“They are the excellent ones, in (C)whom is all my delight.”

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.

O Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup;
You [b]maintain my lot.
The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places;
Yes, I have a good inheritance.

I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel;
My [c]heart also instructs me in the night seasons.
(F)I have set the Lord always before me;
Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.

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.

You Will Not Abandon My Soul

A (A)Miktam[a] of David.

16 Preserve me, O God, for in you I (B)take refuge.
I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
    (C)I have no good apart from you.”

As for (D)the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones,
    in whom is all my delight.[b]

The sorrows of those who run after[c] another god shall multiply;
    their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out
    or (E)take their names on my lips.

The Lord is (F)my chosen portion and my (G)cup;
    you hold my (H)lot.
(I)The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
    indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.

I bless the Lord who (J)gives me counsel;
    in (K)the night also my (L)heart instructs me.[d]
(M)I have (N)set the Lord always before me;
    because he is at my (O)right hand, I shall not be (P)shaken.

Therefore my heart is glad, and my (Q)whole being[e] rejoices;
    my flesh also dwells secure.
10 For you will not abandon my soul to (R)Sheol,
    (S)or let your (T)holy one see (U)corruption.[f]

11 You make known to me (V)the path of life;
    in your presence there is (W)fullness of joy;
    at your right hand are (X)pleasures forevermore.
