Psalmi 16
1 Miktam. Davidov. Čuvaj me, Bože, jer se tebi utječem.
Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God; for in thee do I take refuge.
2 Jahvi rekoh: “Ti si moj gospodar, nema mi blaženstva bez tebe!”
[O my soul], thou hast said unto Jehovah, Thou art my Lord: I have no good beyond thee.
3 Za svetima što su u zemlji sav plamtim od čežnje!
As for the saints that are in the earth, They are the excellent in whom is all my delight.
4 Gomilaju patnje moje koji slijede bogove tuđe. Ja im ljevanica nalijevat' neću, ime im spominjat' neću usnama.
Their sorrows shall be multiplied that give gifts for another [god]: Their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, Nor take their names upon my lips.
5 Jahve mi je baština i kalež: Ti u ruci držiš moju sudbinu.
Jehovah is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: Thou maintainest my lot.
6 Na divnu zemlju padoše mi konopi, vrlo mi je mila moja baština.
The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; Yea, I have a goodly heritage.
7 Blagoslivljam Jahvu koji me svjetuje te me i noću srce opominje.
I will bless Jehovah, who hath given me counsel; Yea, my heart instructeth me in the night seasons.
8 Jahve mi je svagda pred očima; jer mi je zdesna, neću posrnuti.
I have set Jehovah always before me: Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9 Stog' mi se raduje srce i kliče duša, i tijelo mi spokojno počiva.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: My flesh also shall dwell in safety.
For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol; Neither wilt thou suffer thy holy one to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
11 Pokazat ćeš mi stazu u život, puninu radosti pred licem svojim, sebi zdesna blaženstvo vječno.
Thou wilt show me the path of life: In thy presence is fulness of joy; In thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
