Psalms 16
1 Preserve me, O God, for in thee do I take refuge.
Miktam. Davidov. Čuvaj me, Bože, jer se tebi utječem.
2 Thou my soul have said to Jehovah, Thou are my Lord. I have no good beyond thee.
Jahvi rekoh: “Ti si moj gospodar, nema mi blaženstva bez tebe!”
3 As for the sanctified who are in the earth, they are the excellent in whom is all my delight.
Za svetima što su u zemlji sav plamtim od čežnje!
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts for another god. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names upon my lips.
Gomilaju patnje moje koji slijede bogove tuđe. Ja im ljevanica nalijevat' neću, ime im spominjat' neću usnama.
5 Jehovah is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup. Thou maintain my lot.
Jahve mi je baština i kalež: Ti u ruci držiš moju sudbinu.
6 The lines are fallen to me in pleasant places. Yea, I have a fine heritage.
Na divnu zemlju padoše mi konopi, vrlo mi je mila moja baština.
7 I will bless Jehovah, who has given me counsel. Yea, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
Blagoslivljam Jahvu koji me svjetuje te me i noću srce opominje.
8 I beheld Jehovah always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Jahve mi je svagda pred očima; jer mi je zdesna, neću posrnuti.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices. My flesh also shall dwell in hope.
Stog' mi se raduje srce i kliče duša, i tijelo mi spokojno počiva.
10 For thou will not leave my soul to Sheol, nor will thou allow thy holy man to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
Jer mi nećeš ostavit' dušu u Podzemlju ni dati da pravednik tvoj truleži ugleda. (Sheol h7585)
11 Thou made known to me the path of life. Thou will fill me of joy with thy countenance.
Pokazat ćeš mi stazu u život, puninu radosti pred licem svojim, sebi zdesna blaženstvo vječno.
