Psalms 16
1 The inscription of a title: of David himself. Preserve me, O Lord, because I have hoped in you.
Dal Dávidtól. Őrizz engem, Örökkévaló, mert benned kerestem menedéket.
2 I have said to the Lord: “You are my God, so you have no need of my goodness.”
Mondtam az Örökkévalónak: Uram vagy, javam nincsen rajtad kívűl.
3 As for the saints, who are in his land: he has made all my desires wonderful in them.
A szenteknek pedig, kik az országban vannak, és a dicsőknek, kikben egész kedvem van:
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.
Sokasodnak azoknak fájdalmai, kik más isteneket cserélnek; nem ontom véres ontóáldozataikat és nem veszem neveiket ajkaimra.
5 The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and my cup. It is you who will restore my inheritance to me.
Az Örökkévaló osztályomnak és serlegemnek része; te tartod az én sorsomat.
6 The lots have fallen upon me with clarity. And, indeed, my inheritance has been very clear to me.
A mérő kötelek kellemetes helyekre estek számomra; birtokom is kedves előttem.
7 I will bless the Lord, who has bestowed understanding upon me. Moreover, my temperament has also corrected me, even through the night.
Áldom az Örökkévalót, ki nekem tanácsot adott, éjszakákon is oktattak engem veséim.
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.
Az Örökkévalót mindig magam előtt tartottam; mert jobbomon van, nem tántorgok.
9 Because of this, my heart has been joyful, and my tongue has exulted. Moreover, even my body will rest in hope.
Annak örült szívem, és vigad méltóságom; testem is bizton lakozik.
10 For you will not abandon my soul to Hell, nor will you allow your holy one to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
Mert nem hagyod lelkemet az alvilágra, nem engeded jámborodat vermet látnia. (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.
“Tudatod velem az élet ösvényét: örömök bősége van színed előtt, kellemetesség a te jobbodban mindétig!
