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
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.

You Will Not Abandon My Soul
A (A)Miktam[a] of David.
16 Preserve me, O God, for in you I (B)take refuge.
2 I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
(C)I have no good apart from you.”
4 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.
5 The Lord is (F)my chosen portion and my (G)cup;
you hold my (H)lot.

because he is at my (O)right hand, I shall not be (P)shaken.
9 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.
