Psalmi 16
1 Miktam. Davidov. Čuvaj me, Bože, jer se tebi utječem.
A Secret Treasure of David. Preserve me, O God, for I did trust in Thee.
2 Jahvi rekoh: “Ti si moj gospodar, nema mi blaženstva bez tebe!”
Thou hast said to Jehovah, 'My Lord Thou [art];' My good [is] not for thine own sake;
3 Za svetima što su u zemlji sav plamtim od čežnje!
For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the honourable, all my delight [is] in them.
4 Gomilaju patnje moje koji slijede bogove tuđe. Ja im ljevanica nalijevat' neću, ime im spominjat' neću usnama.
Multiplied are their griefs, [Who] have hastened backward; I pour not out their libations of blood, Nor do I take up their names on my lips.
5 Jahve mi je baština i kalež: Ti u ruci držiš moju sudbinu.
Jehovah [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, Thou — Thou dost uphold my lot.
6 Na divnu zemlju padoše mi konopi, vrlo mi je mila moja baština.
Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Yea, a beauteous inheritance [is] for me.
7 Blagoslivljam Jahvu koji me svjetuje te me i noću srce opominje.
I bless Jehovah who hath counselled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me.
8 Jahve mi je svagda pred očima; jer mi je zdesna, neću posrnuti.
I did place Jehovah before me continually, Because — at my right hand I am not moved.
9 Stog' mi se raduje srce i kliče duša, i tijelo mi spokojno počiva.
Therefore hath my heart been glad, And my honour doth rejoice, Also my flesh dwelleth confidently:
For Thou dost not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor givest thy saintly one to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
11 Pokazat ćeš mi stazu u život, puninu radosti pred licem svojim, sebi zdesna blaženstvo vječno.
Thou causest me to know the path of life; Fulness of joys [is] with Thy presence, Pleasant things by Thy right hand for ever!
