Psalms 16
1 A psalm (miktam) of David. Take care of me, Lord, for I come to you for protection.
Miktam. Davidov. Čuvaj me, Bože, jer se tebi utječem.
2 I tell the Lord, “Apart from you Lord, I don't have anything that's good.”
Jahvi rekoh: “Ti si moj gospodar, nema mi blaženstva bez tebe!”
3 As for the holy people in the land, they are the ones who are truly great. I appreciate them.
Za svetima što su u zemlji sav plamtim od čežnje!
4 Those who run after other gods will face a lot of trouble. I will not participate in their offerings of blood, I will not even speak the names of their gods.
Gomilaju patnje moje koji slijede bogove tuđe. Ja im ljevanica nalijevat' neću, ime im spominjat' neću usnama.
5 Lord, you alone are all I have; you give me what I need; you safeguard my future.
Jahve mi je baština i kalež: Ti u ruci držiš moju sudbinu.
6 The land divisions have worked out in my favor—my property is wonderful!
Na divnu zemlju padoše mi konopi, vrlo mi je mila moja baština.
7 I will bless the Lord who gives me good advice; even at night my conscience tells me what is right.
Blagoslivljam Jahvu koji me svjetuje te me i noću srce opominje.
8 I have always kept the Lord in front of me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.
Jahve mi je svagda pred očima; jer mi je zdesna, neću posrnuti.
9 That's why I'm so happy! That's why I am full of joy! That's why my body lives in hope!
Stog' mi se raduje srce i kliče duša, i tijelo mi spokojno počiva.
10 For you will not abandon me in the grave, nor will you allow your Holy One to experience decay. (Sheol h7585)
Jer mi nećeš ostavit' dušu u Podzemlju ni dati da pravednik tvoj truleži ugleda. (Sheol h7585)
11 You have shown me the path of life, filling me with joy with your presence and the delight of living with you forever.
Pokazat ćeš mi stazu u život, puninu radosti pred licem svojim, sebi zdesna blaženstvo vječno.
