Psalms 16
1 Michtam. Of David. Keep me safe, O God: for in you I have put my faith.
Varuj me, oh Bog, kajti vate polagam svoje trdno upanje.
2 O my soul, you have said to the Lord, You are my Lord: I have no good but you.
O moja duša, Gospodu si rekla: »Ti si moj Gospod. Moja dobrota se ne razteza do tebe,
3 As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the noble in whom is all my delight.
temveč k svetim, ki so na zemlji in k odličnim, v katerih je vse moje zadovoljstvo.«
4 Their sorrows will be increased who go after another god: I will not take drink offerings from their hands, or take their names on my lips.
Njihove bridkosti se bodo pomnožile, ki hitijo za drugim bogom. Njihovih krvavih pitnih daritev ne bom daroval niti njihovih imen ne bom jemal na svoje ustnice.
5 The Lord is my heritage and the wine of my cup; you are the supporter of my right.
Gospod je delež moje dediščine in moje skodelice. Ti ohranjaš mojo usodo.
6 Fair are the places marked out for me; I have a noble heritage.
Vrvice so mi padle na prijetnih krajih; da, lepo dediščino imam.
7 I will give praise to the Lord who has been my guide; knowledge comes to me from my thoughts in the night.
Blagoslavljal bom Gospoda, ki mi je dal nasvet. Moja notranjost me prav tako poučuje v nočnih obdobjih.
8 I have put the Lord before me at all times; because he is at my right hand, I will not be moved.
Vedno sem pred seboj postavljal Gospoda; ker je pri moji desnici, ne bom omajan.
9 Because of this my heart is glad, and my glory is full of joy: while my flesh takes its rest in hope.
Zato je moje srce veselo in moja slava se razveseljuje; tudi moje meso bo počivalo v upanju.
10 For you will not let my soul be prisoned in the underworld; you will not let your loved one see the place of death. (Sheol h7585)
Kajti moje duše ne boš pustil v peklu niti ne boš trpel, da bi tvoj Sveti videl trohnobo. (Sheol h7585)
11 You will make clear to me the way of life; where you are joy is complete; in your right hand there are pleasures for ever and ever.
Pokazal mi boš stezo življenja. V tvoji prisotnosti je polnost radosti, pri tvoji desnici so zadovoljstva na vékomaj.
