Psalms 16

اِحْفَظْنِي يَا اَللهُ لأَنِّي عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ.

Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.

قُلْتُ لِلرَّبِّ: «أَنْتَ سَيِّدِي. خَيْرِي لاَ شَيْءَ غَيْرُكَ».

O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;

الْقِدِّيسُونَ الَّذِينَ فِي الأَرْضِ وَالأَفَاضِلُ كُلُّ مَسَرَّتِي بِهِمْ.

But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.

تَكْثُرُ أَوْجَاعُهُمُ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَعُوا وَرَاءَ آخَرَ. لاَ أَسْكُبُ سَكَائِبَهُمْ مِنْ دَمٍ، وَلاَ أَذْكُرُ أَسْمَاءَهُمْ بِشَفَتَيَّ.

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.

الرَّبُّ نَصِيبُ قِسْمَتِي وَكَأْسِي. أَنْتَ قَابِضُ قُرْعَتِي.

The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.

حِبَالٌ وَقَعَتْ لِيفِي النُّعَمَاءِ، فَالْمِيرَاثُ حَسَنٌ عِنْدِي.

The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

أُبَارِكُ الرَّبَّ الَّذِي نَصَحَنِي، وَأَيْضًا بِاللَّيْلِ تُنْذِرُنِي كُلْيَتَايَ.

I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.

جَعَلْتُ الرَّبَّ أَمَامِيفِي كُلِّ حِينٍ، لأَنَّهُ عَنْ يَمِينِي فَلاَ أَتَزَعْزَعُ.

I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

لِذلِكَ فَرِحَ قَلْبِي، وَابْتَهَجَتْ رُوحِي. جَسَدِي أَيْضًا يَسْكُنُ مُطْمَئِنًّا.

Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.

لأَنَّكَ لَنْ تَتْرُكَ نَفْسِيفِي الْهَاوِيَةِ. لَنْ تَدَعَ تَقِيَّكَ يَرَى فَسَادًا.

For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

تُعَرِّفُنِي سَبِيلَ الْحَيَاةِ. أَمَامَكَ شِبَعُ سُرُورٍ. فِي يَمِينِكَ نِعَمٌ إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
