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.

Verse 4 is found in chapter 16 of Psalms. Psalm 16 is a confession of trust in which God appears as supreme good, inheritance, and protection. The rejection of other gods is not merely a doctrinal affirmation, but a declaration of exclusive dependence upon the Lord. The image of portion and inheritance makes communion with God the psalmist’s true possession. The conclusion celebrates the security that God shows the path of life and allows one to experience fullness in his presence.

Aber jene, die einem andern nacheilen, werden groß Herzeleid haben. Ich will ihre Trankopfer mit Blut nicht opfern noch ihren Namen in meinem Munde führen.
Multiplicaranse los dolores de aquellos que sirven diligentes a otro dios: No ofreceré yo sus libaciones de sangre, Ni en mis labios tomaré sus nombres.
Se multiplican los dolores de quienes corren tras otro dios. No derramaré sus libaciones de sangre ni tomaré sus nombres en mis labios.
On multiplie les idoles, on court après les dieux étrangers: Je ne répands pas leurs libations de sang, Je ne mets pas leurs noms sur mes lèvres.
I tormenti di coloro che corrono dietro ad altri dii, saran moltiplicati; Io non farò le loro offerte da spandere, che son di sangue; E non mi recherò nelle labbra i nomi loro.
As dores se multiplicarão àqueles que fazem oferendas a outro deus; eu não oferecerei as suas libações de sangue, nem tomarei os seus nomes nos meus lábios.
追逐 別神的, 他們的愁苦必增加; 他們所澆奠的血我不獻上, 我嘴唇也不提別神的名號。
