Psalmi 16
1 Miktam. Davidov. Čuvaj me, Bože, jer se tebi utječem.
Michtam of David. Keep me, O God; for I have taken refuge in Thee.
2 Jahvi rekoh: “Ti si moj gospodar, nema mi blaženstva bez tebe!”
I have said unto the LORD: 'Thou art my Lord; I have no good but in Thee';
3 Za svetima što su u zemlji sav plamtim od čežnje!
As for the holy 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.
Let the idols of them be multiplied that make suit unto another; 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.
O LORD, 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 the LORD, who hath given me counsel; yea, in the night seasons my reins instruct me.
8 Jahve mi je svagda pred očima; jer mi je zdesna, neću posrnuti.
I have set the LORD always before me; surely 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 dwelleth in safety;
For Thou wilt not abandon my soul to the nether-world; neither wilt Thou suffer Thy godly one to see the pit. (Sheol h7585)
11 Pokazat ćeš mi stazu u život, puninu radosti pred licem svojim, sebi zdesna blaženstvo vječno.
Thou makest me to know the path of life; in Thy presence is fulness of joy, in Thy right hand bliss for evermore.
