Psalms 16
1 A Miktam of David. Preserve me, O God, for in You I take refuge.
Miktam. Davidov. Čuvaj me, Bože, jer se tebi utječem.
2 I said to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from You I have no good thing.”
Jahvi rekoh: “Ti si moj gospodar, nema mi blaženstva bez tebe!”
3 As for the saints in the land, they are the excellence in whom all my delight resides.
Za svetima što su u zemlji sav plamtim od čežnje!
4 Sorrows will multiply to those who chase other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood, or speak their names with my lips.
Gomilaju patnje moje koji slijede bogove tuđe. Ja im ljevanica nalijevat' neću, ime im spominjat' neću usnama.
5 The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; You have made my lot secure.
Jahve mi je baština i kalež: Ti u ruci držiš moju sudbinu.
6 The lines of my boundary have fallen in pleasant places; surely my inheritance is delightful.
Na divnu zemlju padoše mi konopi, vrlo mi je mila moja baština.
7 I will bless the LORD who counsels me; even at night my conscience instructs me.
Blagoslivljam Jahvu koji me svjetuje te me i noću srce opominje.
8 I have set the LORD always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
Jahve mi je svagda pred očima; jer mi je zdesna, neću posrnuti.
9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell securely.
Stog' mi se raduje srce i kliče duša, i tijelo mi spokojno počiva.
10 For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay. (Sheol h7585)
Jer mi nećeš ostavit' dušu u Podzemlju ni dati da pravednik tvoj truleži ugleda. (Sheol h7585)
11 You have made known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand.
Pokazat ćeš mi stazu u život, puninu radosti pred licem svojim, sebi zdesna blaženstvo vječno.
