Psalms 16
1 The inscription of a title: of David himself. Preserve me, O Lord, because I have hoped in you.
Miktam. Davidov. Čuvaj me, Bože, jer se tebi utječem.
2 I have said to the Lord: “You are my God, so you have no need of my goodness.”
Jahvi rekoh: “Ti si moj gospodar, nema mi blaženstva bez tebe!”
3 As for the saints, who are in his land: he has made all my desires wonderful in them.
Za svetima što su u zemlji sav plamtim od čežnje!
4 Their infirmities have been multiplied; after this, they acted more quickly. I will not gather for their convocations of blood, nor will I remember 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 my inheritance and my cup. It is you who will restore my inheritance to me.
Jahve mi je baština i kalež: Ti u ruci držiš moju sudbinu.
6 The lots have fallen upon me with clarity. And, indeed, my inheritance has been very clear to me.
Na divnu zemlju padoše mi konopi, vrlo mi je mila moja baština.
7 I will bless the Lord, who has bestowed understanding upon me. Moreover, my temperament has also corrected me, even through the night.
Blagoslivljam Jahvu koji me svjetuje te me i noću srce opominje.
8 I have made provision for the Lord always in my sight. For he is at my right hand, so that I may not be disturbed.
Jahve mi je svagda pred očima; jer mi je zdesna, neću posrnuti.
9 Because of this, my heart has been joyful, and my tongue has exulted. Moreover, even my body will rest in hope.
Stog' mi se raduje srce i kliče duša, i tijelo mi spokojno počiva.
10 For you will not abandon my soul to Hell, nor will you allow 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 by your countenance. At your right hand are delights, even to the end.
Pokazat ćeš mi stazu u život, puninu radosti pred licem svojim, sebi zdesna blaženstvo vječno.
