Psalms 16
1 The inscription of a title: of David himself. Preserve me, O Lord, because I have hoped in you.
Miktam. Dari Daud. Jagalah aku, ya Allah, sebab pada-Mu aku berlindung.
2 I have said to the Lord: “You are my God, so you have no need of my goodness.”
Aku berkata kepada TUHAN: "Engkaulah Tuhanku, tidak ada yang baik bagiku selain Engkau!"
3 As for the saints, who are in his land: he has made all my desires wonderful in them.
Orang-orang kudus yang ada di tanah ini, merekalah orang mulia yang selalu menjadi kesukaanku.
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.
Bertambah besar kesedihan orang-orang yang mengikuti allah lain; aku tidak akan ikut mempersembahkan korban curahan mereka yang dari darah, juga tidak akan menyebut-nyebut nama mereka di bibirku.
5 The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and my cup. It is you who will restore my inheritance to me.
Ya TUHAN, Engkaulah bagian warisanku dan pialaku, Engkau sendirilah yang meneguhkan bagian yang diundikan kepadaku.
6 The lots have fallen upon me with clarity. And, indeed, my inheritance has been very clear to me.
Tali pengukur jatuh bagiku di tempat-tempat yang permai; ya, milik pusakaku menyenangkan hatiku.
7 I will bless the Lord, who has bestowed understanding upon me. Moreover, my temperament has also corrected me, even through the night.
Aku memuji TUHAN, yang telah memberi nasihat kepadaku, ya, pada waktu malam hati nuraniku mengajari aku.
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.
Aku senantiasa memandang kepada TUHAN; karena Ia berdiri di sebelah kananku, aku tidak goyah.
9 Because of this, my heart has been joyful, and my tongue has exulted. Moreover, even my body will rest in hope.
Sebab itu hatiku bersukacita dan jiwaku bersorak-sorak, bahkan tubuhku akan diam dengan tenteram;
10 For you will not abandon my soul to Hell, nor will you allow your holy one to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
sebab Engkau tidak menyerahkan aku ke dunia orang mati, dan tidak membiarkan Orang Kudus-Mu melihat kebinasaan. (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.
Engkau memberitahukan kepadaku jalan kehidupan; di hadapan-Mu ada sukacita berlimpah-limpah, di tangan kanan-Mu ada nikmat senantiasa.
