2Oh alma mía, dijiste a Jehová: Tú eres mi Señor; No hay para mí bien fuera de ti.
3Para los santos que están en la tierra, Y para los íntegros, es toda mi complacencia.
4Se multiplicarán los dolores de aquellos que sirven diligentes a otro dios. No ofreceré yo sus libaciones de sangre, Ni en mis labios tomaré sus nombres.
5Jehová es la porción de mi herencia y de mi copa; Tú sustentas mi suerte.
6Las cuerdas me cayeron en lugares deleitosos, Y es hermosa la heredad que me ha tocado.
7Bendeciré a Jehová que me aconseja; Aun en las noches me enseña mi conciencia.
8A Jehová he puesto siempre delante de mí; Porque está a mi diestra, no seré conmovido.
9Se alegró por tanto mi corazón, y se gozó mi alma; Mi carne también reposará confiadamente;
10Porque no dejarás mi alma en el Seol, Ni permitirás que tu santo vea corrupción.
11Me mostrarás la senda de la vida; En tu presencia hay plenitud de gozo; Delicias a tu diestra para siempre.

16:7-8 God’s instruction brings life (16:11; see 5:8; 23:1-3; 32:8; 73:24). • The psalmist so deeply depends on the Lord for strength and joy that he senses that God is right beside him (16:11; see 73:23; 109:31; 110:1, 5; 121:5). • Peter quoted 16:8-11 in his sermon on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:25-28).

1Guárdame, oh Dios, porque en ti he confiado.
2Oh alma mía, dijiste a Jehová: Tú eres mi Señor; No hay para mí bien fuera de ti.
3Para los santos que están en la tierra, Y para los íntegros, es toda mi complacencia.
4Se multiplicarán los dolores de aquellos que sirven diligentes a otro dios. No ofreceré yo sus libaciones de sangre, Ni en mis labios tomaré sus nombres.
5Jehová es la porción de mi herencia y de mi copa; Tú sustentas mi suerte.
6Las cuerdas me cayeron en lugares deleitosos, Y es hermosa la heredad que me ha tocado.
7Bendeciré a Jehová que me aconseja; Aun en las noches me enseña mi conciencia.
8A Jehová he puesto siempre delante de mí; Porque está a mi diestra, no seré conmovido.
