Psalmi 16
1 Miktam. Davidov. Čuvaj me, Bože, jer se tebi utječem.
“A psalm off David.” Preserve me, O God! for to thee do I look for help.
2 Jahvi rekoh: “Ti si moj gospodar, nema mi blaženstva bez tebe!”
I have said to Jehovah, Thou art my Lord; I have no happiness beyond thee!
3 Za svetima što su u zemlji sav plamtim od čežnje!
The holy that are in the land, and the excellent, —in them is all my delight.
4 Gomilaju patnje moje koji slijede bogove tuđe. Ja im ljevanica nalijevat' neću, ime im spominjat' neću usnama.
They who hasten after other gods shall have multiplied sorrows; Their drink-offerings of blood I will not offer, Nor will I take their names upon my lips.
5 Jahve mi je baština i kalež: Ti u ruci držiš moju sudbinu.
Jehovah is my portion and my cup; Thou wilt maintain my lot!
6 Na divnu zemlju padoše mi konopi, vrlo mi je mila moja baština.
My portion hath fallen to me in pleasant places; Yea, I have a goodly inheritance.
7 Blagoslivljam Jahvu koji me svjetuje te me i noću srce opominje.
I will bless the LORD, who careth for me; Yea, in the night my heart admonisheth me.
8 Jahve mi je svagda pred očima; jer mi je zdesna, neću posrnuti.
I set the LORD before me at all times; Since he is at my right hand, I shall not fall.
9 Stog' mi se raduje srce i kliče duša, i tijelo mi spokojno počiva.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my spirit rejoiceth; Yea, my flesh dwelleth in security.
For thou wilt not give me up to the underworld; Nor wilt thou suffer thy holy one to see the pit. (Sheol h7585)
11 Pokazat ćeš mi stazu u život, puninu radosti pred licem svojim, sebi zdesna blaženstvo vječno.
Thou wilt show me the path of life; In thy presence is fulness of joy; At thy right hand are pleasures for evermore.
