16:1 A Poem by David. Preserve me, God, for I take refuge in you.
2 Рѣ́хъ гдⷭ҇еви: гдⷭ҇ь мо́й є҆сѝ ты̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ благи́хъ мои́хъ не тре́бꙋеши.
16:2 My soul, you have said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing.”
3 Ст҃ы̑мъ, и҆̀же сꙋ́ть на землѝ є҆гѡ̀, ᲂу҆дивѝ гдⷭ҇ь всѧ̑ хотѣ̑нїѧ своѧ̑ въ ни́хъ.
16:3 As for the saints who are on the earth, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.
4 Оу҆мно́жишасѧ не́мѡщи и҆́хъ, по си́хъ ᲂу҆скори́ша: не соберꙋ̀ собо́ры и҆́хъ ѿ крове́й, ни помѧнꙋ́ же и҆ме́нъ и҆́хъ ᲂу҆стна́ма мои́ма.
16:4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts to another god. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips.
5 Гдⷭ҇ь ча́сть достоѧ́нїѧ моегѡ̀ и҆ ча́ши моеѧ̀: ты̀ є҆сѝ ᲂу҆строѧ́ѧй достоѧ́нїе моѐ мнѣ̀.
16:5 Yahweh assigned my portion and my cup. You made my lot secure.
6 Оу҆́жѧ нападо́ша мѝ въ держа́вныхъ мои́хъ: и҆́бо достоѧ́нїе моѐ держа́вно є҆́сть мнѣ̀.
16:6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good inheritance.
7 Благословлю̀ гдⷭ҇а вразꙋми́вшаго мѧ̀: є҆ще́ же и҆ до но́щи наказа́ша мѧ̀ ᲂу҆трѡ́бы моѧ̑.
16:7 I will bless Yahweh, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
8 Предзрѣ́хъ гдⷭ҇а предо мно́ю вы́нꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆деснꙋ́ю менє̀ є҆́сть, да не подви́жꙋсѧ.
16:8 I have set Yahweh always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди возвесели́сѧ се́рдце моѐ, и҆ возра́довасѧ ѧ҆зы́къ мо́й: є҆ще́ же и҆ пло́ть моѧ̀ всели́тсѧ на ᲂу҆пова́нїи.
16:9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.
10 Ꙗ҆́кѡ не ѡ҆ста́виши дꙋ́шꙋ мою̀ во а҆́дѣ, нижѐ да́си прпⷣбномꙋ твоемꙋ̀ ви́дѣти и҆стлѣ́нїѧ.
16:10 For you will not leave my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption.

16:11 You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations). Verse numbers below follow the Hebrew/English numbering: 16.

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  4. Quotes verse 16:2 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book X, Chapters 4–6)

    Not to be wearisome, suffice it to quote this brief saying from a psalm: "I have said to the Lord, Thou art my God: for Thou needest not my goodness."
