Psalms 16
Michtam of David
The LORD is my portion
אָמַרְתְּ לַֽיהוָה אֲדֹנָי אָתָּה טוֹבָתִי בַּל-עָלֶֽיךָ׃
O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;
לִקְדוֹשִׁים אֲשֶׁר-בָּאָרֶץ הֵמָּה וְאַדִּירֵי כָּל-חֶפְצִי-בָֽם׃
But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
יִרְבּוּ עַצְּבוֹתָם אַחֵר מָהָרוּ בַּל-אַסִּיךְ נִסְכֵּיהֶם מִדָּם וּֽבַל-אֶשָּׂא אֶת-שְׁמוֹתָם עַל-שְׂפָתָֽי׃
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.
יְֽהוָה מְנָת-חֶלְקִי וְכוֹסִי אַתָּה תּוֹמִיךְ גּוֹרָלִֽי׃
The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
חֲבָלִים נָֽפְלוּ-לִי בַּנְּעִמִים אַף-נַחֲלָת שָֽׁפְרָה עָלָֽי׃
The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
אֲבָרֵךְ אֶת-יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר יְעָצָנִי אַף-לֵילוֹת יִסְּרוּנִי כִלְיוֹתָֽי׃
I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
שִׁוִּיתִי יְהוָה לְנֶגְדִּי תָמִיד כִּי מִֽימִינִי בַּל-אֶמּֽוֹט׃
I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
לָכֵן׀ שָׂמַח לִבִּי וַיָּגֶל כְּבוֹדִי אַף-בְּשָׂרִי יִשְׁכֹּן לָבֶֽטַח׃
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
כִּי׀ לֹא-תַעֲזֹב נַפְשִׁי לִשְׁאוֹל לֹֽא-תִתֵּן חֲסִידְךָ לִרְאוֹת שָֽׁחַת׃
For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
תּֽוֹדִיעֵנִי אֹרַח חַיִּים שֹׂבַע שְׂמָחוֹת אֶת-פָּנֶיךָ נְעִמוֹת בִּימִינְךָ נֶֽצַח׃
Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
