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

15:1 Tituli inscriptio, ipsi David. Conserva me, Domine, quoniam speravi in te.

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

2 Dixi Domino: Deus meus es tu,
quoniam bonorum meorum non eges.

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

3 Sanctis qui sunt in terra ejus,
mirificavit omnes voluntates meas in eis.

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.

4 Multiplicatæ sunt infirmitates eorum:
postea acceleraverunt.
Non congregabo conventicula eorum de sanguinibus,
nec memor ero nominum eorum per labia mea.

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

5 Dominus pars hæreditatis meæ, et calicis mei:
tu es qui restitues hæreditatem meam mihi.

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

6 Funes ceciderunt mihi in præclaris;
etenim hæreditas mea præclara est mihi.

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

7 Benedicam Dominum qui tribuit mihi intellectum;
insuper et usque ad noctem increpuerunt me renes mei.

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

8 Providebam Dominum in conspectu meo semper:
quoniam a dextris est mihi, ne commovear.

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

9 Propter hoc lætatum est cor meum, et exsultavit lingua mea;
insuper et caro mea requiescet in spe.

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.

10 Quoniam non derelinques animam meam in inferno,
nec dabis sanctum tuum videre corruptionem.
Notas mihi fecisti vias vitæ;
adimplebis me lætitia cum vultu tuo:
delectationes in dextera tua usque in finem.
