< Psalms 16 >
1 Preserve me, O God, for in thee do I take refuge.
Èuvaj me, Bože; jer se u te uzdam.
2 Thou my soul have said to Jehovah, Thou are my Lord. I have no good beyond thee.
Rekoh Gospodu: ti si Gospod moj, nemam dobra osim tebe.
3 As for the sanctified who are in the earth, they are the excellent in whom is all my delight.
U svetima koji su na zemlji i u velikima sva je utjeha moja.
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.
Neka drugi umnožavaju idole svoje, neka trèe k tuðima; ja im neæu ljevati krvavih naljeva, niti æu metnuti imena njihovijeh u usta svoja.
5 Jehovah is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup. Thou maintain my lot.
Gospod je moj dio našljedstva i èaše; ti podižeš dostojanje moje.
6 The lines are fallen to me in pleasant places. Yea, I have a fine heritage.
Uže mi je zahvatilo prekrasna mjesta, i dio mi je moj mio.
7 I will bless Jehovah, who has given me counsel. Yea, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
Blagosiljam Gospoda, koji me urazumljuje; tomu me i noæu uèi što je u meni.
8 I beheld Jehovah always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Svagda vidim pred sobom Gospoda: on mi je s desne strane da ne posrnem.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices. My flesh also shall dwell in hope.
Toga radi raduje se srce moje, i veseli se jezik moj, još æe se i tijelo moje smiriti u uzdanju;
10 For thou will not leave my soul to Sheol, nor will thou allow thy holy man to see corruption. (Sheol )
Jer neæeš ostaviti duše moje u paklu, niti æeš dati da svetac tvoj vidi truhlost. (Sheol )
11 Thou made known to me the path of life. Thou will fill me of joy with thy countenance.
Pokazaæeš mi put životni: obilje je radosti pred licem tvojim, utjeha u desnici tvojoj dovijeka.
