Psalmi 16
1 Miktam. Davidov. Čuvaj me, Bože, jer se tebi utječem.
A michtam of David. Keep me, O God, for in you I take refuge.
2 Jahvi rekoh: “Ti si moj gospodar, nema mi blaženstva bez tebe!”
I said to the Lord, ‘You are my Lord, my happiness rests in you alone.
3 Za svetima što su u zemlji sav plamtim od čežnje!
Those who are holy in the land, they, they alone, are the noble ones; all my delight is in them.’
4 Gomilaju patnje moje koji slijede bogove tuđe. Ja im ljevanica nalijevat' neću, ime im spominjat' neću usnama.
Those who choose other gods find endless sorrow. In their offerings of blood I will have no part nor take their name on my lips.
5 Jahve mi je baština i kalež: Ti u ruci držiš moju sudbinu.
The Lord is my share and my portion, my fate is in your strong hands.
6 Na divnu zemlju padoše mi konopi, vrlo mi je mila moja baština.
The boundary lines of my life mark out delightful country, my heritage pleases me well.
7 Blagoslivljam Jahvu koji me svjetuje te me i noću srce opominje.
I praise the Lord for his counsel, which so stirs my heart in the night.
8 Jahve mi je svagda pred očima; jer mi je zdesna, neću posrnuti.
I keep the Lord always in mind: with him at my hand, I can never be moved.
9 Stog' mi se raduje srce i kliče duša, i tijelo mi spokojno počiva.
So my heart is glad, there is joy inside me; and in safety of body I live.
For you will not give me up to Sheol nor let any who love you see the pit. (Sheol h7585)
11 Pokazat ćeš mi stazu u život, puninu radosti pred licem svojim, sebi zdesna blaženstvo vječno.
You will show me the path that leads to life, to that fulness of joy which is in your presence, and the pleasures dispensed by your hand evermore.
