Psalmi 16
1 Miktam. Davidov. Čuvaj me, Bože, jer se tebi utječem.
[A Poem by David.] Preserve me, God, for in you do 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 holy ones who are in the land, they are the excellent ones 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 multiply who pay a dowry for another. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips.
5 Jahve mi je baština i kalež: Ti u ruci držiš moju sudbinu.
The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and my cup. You made my lot secure.
6 Na divnu zemlju padoše mi konopi, vrlo mi je mila moja baština.
The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, beautiful is my inheritance.
7 Blagoslivljam Jahvu koji me svjetuje te me i noću srce opominje.
I will bless the LORD, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
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 never be upended.
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 shall also dwell in safety.
For you will not abandon my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay. (Sheol h7585)
11 Pokazat ćeš mi stazu u život, puninu radosti pred licem svojim, sebi zdesna blaženstvo vječno.
You make known to me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.
