Psalmi 16
1 Miktam. Davidov. Čuvaj me, Bože, jer se tebi utječem.
God, protect me because I go to you to keep me safe!
2 Jahvi rekoh: “Ti si moj gospodar, nema mi blaženstva bez tebe!”
I said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord; all the good things that I have come from you.”
3 Za svetima što su u zemlji sav plamtim od čežnje!
Your people who live in this land are wonderful; I delight to be with them.
4 Gomilaju patnje moje koji slijede bogove tuđe. Ja im ljevanica nalijevat' neću, ime im spominjat' neću usnama.
Those who choose to worship other gods will have many things that cause them to be sad. I will not join them when they make sacrifices [to their gods]; I will not even join them when they speak [MTY] the names of their gods.
5 Jahve mi je baština i kalež: Ti u ruci držiš moju sudbinu.
Yahweh, you are the one whom I have chosen, and you give me great blessings. You protect me and control what happens to me.
6 Na divnu zemlju padoše mi konopi, vrlo mi je mila moja baština.
Yahweh has given me a wonderful place in which to live; I am delighted with all the things that he has given me [MET].
7 Blagoslivljam Jahvu koji me svjetuje te me i noću srce opominje.
I will praise Yahweh, the one who teaches/disciplines me; even at night [he] you put in my mind what is right for me to do.
8 Jahve mi je svagda pred očima; jer mi je zdesna, neću posrnuti.
I know that Yahweh is always with me. He is beside me; so nothing will (perturb me/cause me to be worried).
9 Stog' mi se raduje srce i kliče duša, i tijelo mi spokojno počiva.
Therefore I am glad and I [MTY, DOU] rejoice; I can rest securely
because you, Yahweh, will not allow my soul/spirit to remain in the place where the dead people are; you will not allow me, your godly one, to stay there. (Sheol h7585)
11 Pokazat ćeš mi stazu u život, puninu radosti pred licem svojim, sebi zdesna blaženstvo vječno.
You will show me the road that leads to [receiving eternal] life, and you will make me joyful when I am with you. I will have pleasure forever when I am (at your right hand/seated next to you).
