Psalms 16
1 Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God: for I trust in thee.
Varuj me, oh Bog, kajti vate polagam svoje trdno upanje.
2 Thou [my soul] hast said to Jehovah, Thou art the Lord: my goodness [extendeth] not to thee; —
O moja duša, Gospodu si rekla: »Ti si moj Gospod. Moja dobrota se ne razteza do tebe,
3 To the saints that are on the earth, and to the excellent [thou hast said], In them is all my delight.
temveč k svetim, ki so na zemlji in k odličnim, v katerih je vse moje zadovoljstvo.«
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another: their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, and I will not take up their names into my lips.
Njihove bridkosti se bodo pomnožile, ki hitijo za drugim bogom. Njihovih krvavih pitnih daritev ne bom daroval niti njihovih imen ne bom jemal na svoje ustnice.
5 Jehovah is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
Gospod je delež moje dediščine in moje skodelice. Ti ohranjaš mojo usodo.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
Vrvice so mi padle na prijetnih krajih; da, lepo dediščino imam.
7 I will bless Jehovah, who giveth me counsel; even in the nights my reins instruct me.
Blagoslavljal bom Gospoda, ki mi je dal nasvet. Moja notranjost me prav tako poučuje v nočnih obdobjih.
8 I have set Jehovah continually before me; because [he is] at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Vedno sem pred seboj postavljal Gospoda; ker je pri moji desnici, ne bom omajan.
9 Therefore my heart rejoiceth, and my glory exulteth; my flesh moreover shall dwell in hope.
Zato je moje srce veselo in moja slava se razveseljuje; tudi moje meso bo počivalo v upanju.
10 For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol, neither wilt thou allow thy Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
Kajti moje duše ne boš pustil v peklu niti ne boš trpel, da bi tvoj Sveti videl trohnobo. (Sheol h7585)
11 Thou wilt make known to me the path of life: thy countenance is fulness of joy; at thy right hand are pleasures for evermore.
Pokazal mi boš stezo življenja. V tvoji prisotnosti je polnost radosti, pri tvoji desnici so zadovoljstva na vékomaj.
