DRB Douay-Rheims (Challoner), American Edition 1899
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 The inscription of a title to David himself. Preserve me, O Lord, for I have put trust in thee.
16:1 Michtham de David. GUÁRDAME, oh Dios, porque en ti he confiado.
2 I have said to the Lord, thou art my God, for thou hast no need of my goods.
16:2 Dijiste, [oh alma mía], á Jehová: Tú eres el Señor: mi bien á ti no [aprovecha];
3 To the saints, who are in his land, he hath made wonderful all my desires in them.
16:3 [Sino] á los santos que están en la tierra, y á los íntegros: toda mi afición en ellos.
4 Their infirmities were multiplied: afterwards they made haste. I will not gather together their meetings for blood offerings: nor will I be mindful of their names by my lips.
16:4 Multiplicaránse los dolores de aquellos que sirven diligentes á otro [dios]: no ofreceré yo sus libaciones de sangre, ni en mis labios tomaré sus nombres.
5 The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: it is thou that wilt restore my inheritance to me.
16:5 Jehová es la porción de mi parte y de mi copa; tú sustentarás mi suerte.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in goodly places: for my inheritance is goodly to me.
16:6 Las cuerdas me cayeron en lugares deleitosos, y es hermosa la heredad que me ha tocado.
7 I will bless the Lord, who hath given me understanding: moreover my reins also have corrected me even till night.
16:7 Bendeciré á Jehová que me aconseja: aun en las noches me enseñan mis riñones.
8 I set the Lord always in my sight: for he is at my right hand, that I be not moved.
16:8 A Jehová he puesto siempre delante de mí: porque está á mi diestra no seré conmovido.
9 Therefore my heart hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced: moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope.
16:9 Alegróse por tanto mi corazón, y se gozó mi gloria: también mi carne reposará segura.
10 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; nor wilt then give thy holy one to see corruption.
16:10 Porque no dejarás mi alma en el sepulcro; ni permitirás que tu santo vea corrupción.
11 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life, thou shalt fill me with joy with thy countenance: at thy right hand are delights even to the end.
16:11 Me mostrarás la senda de la vida: hartura de alegrías hay con tu rostro; deleites en tu diestra para siempre.

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).

    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."
