< Psalmi 16 >
1 Miktam. Davidov. Čuvaj me, Bože, jer se tebi utječem.
Preserve me, O El: for in thee do I put my trust.
2 Jahvi rekoh: “Ti si moj gospodar, nema mi blaženstva bez tebe!”
O my soul, thou hast said unto YHWH, Thou art YHWH: my virtue is not without thee;
3 Za svetima što su u zemlji sav plamtim od čežnje!
But to the saints that are in the earth, and to 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 hasten after another elohim: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
5 Jahve mi je baština i kalež: Ti u ruci držiš moju sudbinu.
YHWH 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 YHWH, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
8 Jahve mi je svagda pred očima; jer mi je zdesna, neću posrnuti.
I have set YHWH 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 rest in hope.
10 Jer mi nećeš ostavit' dušu u Podzemlju ni dati da pravednik tvoj truleži ugleda. (Sheol )
For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol )
11 Pokazat ćeš mi stazu u život, puninu radosti pred licem svojim, sebi zdesna blaženstvo vječno.
Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
