Psalms 16
1 A writing of David. Keep me, O Lord; for I have hoped in you.
Miktam. Davidov. Čuvaj me, Bože, jer se tebi utječem.
2 I said to the Lord, You are my Lord; for you has no need of my goodness.
Jahvi rekoh: “Ti si moj gospodar, nema mi blaženstva bez tebe!”
3 On behalf of the saints that are in his land, he has magnified all his pleasure in them.
Za svetima što su u zemlji sav plamtim od čežnje!
4 Their weaknesses have been multiplied; afterward they hasted. I will by no means assemble their bloody meetings, neither will I make mention of 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 the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: you are he that restores my inheritance to me.
Jahve mi je baština i kalež: Ti u ruci držiš moju sudbinu.
6 The lines have fallen to me in the best places, yes, I have a most excellent heritage.
Na divnu zemlju padoše mi konopi, vrlo mi je mila moja baština.
7 I will bless the Lord who has instructed me; my reins too have chastened me even till night.
Blagoslivljam Jahvu koji me svjetuje te me i noću srce opominje.
8 I foresaw the Lord always before my face; for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.
Jahve mi je svagda pred očima; jer mi je zdesna, neću posrnuti.
9 Therefore my heart rejoiced an my tongue exulted; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
Stog' mi se raduje srce i kliče duša, i tijelo mi spokojno počiva.
10 because you will not leave my soul in hell, neither will you suffer your Holy One to see corruption. (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 ways of life; you will fill me with joy with your countenance: at your right hand [there are] delights for ever.
Pokazat ćeš mi stazu u život, puninu radosti pred licem svojim, sebi zdesna blaženstvo vječno.
