Psalmi 16
1 Miktam. Davidov. Čuvaj me, Bože, jer se tebi utječem.
Michtam. Of David. Keep me safe, O God: for in you I have put my faith.
2 Jahvi rekoh: “Ti si moj gospodar, nema mi blaženstva bez tebe!”
O my soul, you have said to the Lord, You are my Lord: I have no good but you.
3 Za svetima što su u zemlji sav plamtim od čežnje!
As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the noble 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 will be increased who go after another god: I will not take drink offerings from their hands, or take their names on my lips.
5 Jahve mi je baština i kalež: Ti u ruci držiš moju sudbinu.
The Lord is my heritage and the wine of my cup; you are the supporter of my right.
6 Na divnu zemlju padoše mi konopi, vrlo mi je mila moja baština.
Fair are the places marked out for me; I have a noble heritage.
7 Blagoslivljam Jahvu koji me svjetuje te me i noću srce opominje.
I will give praise to the Lord who has been my guide; knowledge comes to me from my thoughts in the night.
8 Jahve mi je svagda pred očima; jer mi je zdesna, neću posrnuti.
I have put the Lord before me at all times; because he is at my right hand, I will not be moved.
9 Stog' mi se raduje srce i kliče duša, i tijelo mi spokojno počiva.
Because of this my heart is glad, and my glory is full of joy: while my flesh takes its rest in hope.
For you will not let my soul be prisoned in the underworld; you will not let your loved one see the place of death. (Sheol h7585)
11 Pokazat ćeš mi stazu u život, puninu radosti pred licem svojim, sebi zdesna blaženstvo vječno.
You will make clear to me the way of life; where you are joy is complete; in your right hand there are pleasures for ever and ever.
