< Psalms 16 >
1 A psalm (miktam) of David. Take care of me, Lord, for I come to you for protection.
Odlična pesem Davidova. Reši me, Bog mogočni; ker k tebi pribegam:
2 I tell the Lord, “Apart from you Lord, I don't have anything that's good.”
Gospodu govoriš: Gospod si moj, blaga mojega ne bodeš hranil pri sebi:
3 As for the holy people in the land, they are the ones who are truly great. I appreciate them.
Svetim, ki so v deželi in veličastnim ga podeliš; na katerih je vse razveseljevanje moje.
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.
Njim množijo bolečine kateri drugemu delé; daroval ne bodem njih krvavih daritev, ne jemal njih imen na ustne svoje.
5 Lord, you alone are all I have; you give me what I need; you safeguard my future.
Gospod je delež pristave moje in mojega ljudstva; ti vzdržuješ osodo mojo.
6 The land divisions have worked out in my favor—my property is wonderful!
Mérne vrvi so mi pale v preprijetnih krajih; tudi posestvo je sprelepo, katero me je doletelo.
7 I will bless the Lord who gives me good advice; even at night my conscience tells me what is right.
Blagoslavljal bodem Gospoda, kateri mi je dal sovèt; tudi ponoči me podučujejo obisti moje.
8 I have always kept the Lord in front of me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.
Predočujem si Gospoda neprestano; ker je na desnici moji, ne omahnem.
9 That's why I'm so happy! That's why I am full of joy! That's why my body lives in hope!
Zatorej se veseli srce moje in raduje se slava moja; tudi meso moje prebiva brez skrbi.
10 For you will not abandon me in the grave, nor will you allow your Holy One to experience decay. (Sheol )
Ker duše moje ne bodeš pustil v grobu, ne pripustil ljubljencu svojemu, da vidi trohnobo. (Sheol )
11 You have shown me the path of life, filling me with joy with your presence and the delight of living with you forever.
Naznanjaš mi življenja stezo; najslajših radosti obilost pred obličjem tvojim, na desnici tvoji vekomaj.
