Psalmi 16
1 Miktam. Davidov. Čuvaj me, Bože, jer se tebi utječem.
A Miktam of David. Preserve me, O God, for in You I take refuge.
2 Jahvi rekoh: “Ti si moj gospodar, nema mi blaženstva bez tebe!”
I said to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from You I have no good thing.”
3 Za svetima što su u zemlji sav plamtim od čežnje!
As for the saints in the land, they are the excellence in whom all my delight resides.
4 Gomilaju patnje moje koji slijede bogove tuđe. Ja im ljevanica nalijevat' neću, ime im spominjat' neću usnama.
Sorrows will multiply to those who chase other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood, or speak their names with my lips.
5 Jahve mi je baština i kalež: Ti u ruci držiš moju sudbinu.
The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; You have made my lot secure.
6 Na divnu zemlju padoše mi konopi, vrlo mi je mila moja baština.
The lines of my boundary have fallen in pleasant places; surely my inheritance is delightful.
7 Blagoslivljam Jahvu koji me svjetuje te me i noću srce opominje.
I will bless the LORD who counsels me; even at night my conscience instructs me.
8 Jahve mi je svagda pred očima; jer mi je zdesna, neću posrnuti.
I have set the LORD always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
9 Stog' mi se raduje srce i kliče duša, i tijelo mi spokojno počiva.
Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell securely.
For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay. (Sheol h7585)
11 Pokazat ćeš mi stazu u život, puninu radosti pred licem svojim, sebi zdesna blaženstvo vječno.
You have made known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand.
