< Psalms 16 >
1 A writing of David. Keep me, O Lord; for I have hoped in you.
Odlična pesem Davidova. Reši me, Bog mogočni; ker k tebi pribegam:
2 I said to the Lord, You are my Lord; for you has no need of my goodness.
Gospodu govoriš: Gospod si moj, blaga mojega ne bodeš hranil pri sebi:
3 On behalf of the saints that are in his land, he has magnified all his pleasure in them.
Svetim, ki so v deželi in veličastnim ga podeliš; na katerih je vse razveseljevanje moje.
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.
Njim množijo bolečine kateri drugemu delé; daroval ne bodem njih krvavih daritev, ne jemal njih imen na ustne svoje.
5 The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: you are he that restores my inheritance to me.
Gospod je delež pristave moje in mojega ljudstva; ti vzdržuješ osodo mojo.
6 The lines have fallen to me in the best places, yes, I have a most excellent heritage.
Mérne vrvi so mi pale v preprijetnih krajih; tudi posestvo je sprelepo, katero me je doletelo.
7 I will bless the Lord who has instructed me; my reins too have chastened me even till night.
Blagoslavljal bodem Gospoda, kateri mi je dal sovèt; tudi ponoči me podučujejo obisti moje.
8 I foresaw the Lord always before my face; for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.
Predočujem si Gospoda neprestano; ker je na desnici moji, ne omahnem.
9 Therefore my heart rejoiced an my tongue exulted; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
Zatorej se veseli srce moje in raduje se slava moja; tudi meso moje prebiva brez skrbi.
10 because you will not leave my soul in hell, neither will you suffer your Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol )
Ker duše moje ne bodeš pustil v grobu, ne pripustil ljubljencu svojemu, da vidi trohnobo. (Sheol )
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.
Naznanjaš mi življenja stezo; najslajših radosti obilost pred obličjem tvojim, na desnici tvoji vekomaj.
