< Psalms 16 >
1 A MIKTAM OF DAVID. Preserve me, O God, for I trusted in You.
Miktam. Davidov. Čuvaj me, Bože, jer se tebi utječem.
2 You have said to YHWH, “You [are] my Lord”; My goodness [is] not above You;
Jahvi rekoh: “Ti si moj gospodar, nema mi blaženstva bez tebe!”
3 For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the honorable, all my delight [is] in them.
Za svetima što su u zemlji sav plamtim od čežnje!
4 Their griefs are multiplied, [who] have hurried backward; I do not pour out their drink-offerings of blood, Nor do I take up their names on my lips.
Gomilaju patnje moje koji slijede bogove tuđe. Ja im ljevanica nalijevat' neću, ime im spominjat' neću usnama.
5 YHWH [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, You uphold my lot.
Jahve mi je baština i kalež: Ti u ruci držiš moju sudbinu.
6 Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Indeed, a beautiful inheritance [is] for me.
Na divnu zemlju padoše mi konopi, vrlo mi je mila moja baština.
7 I bless YHWH who has counseled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me.
Blagoslivljam Jahvu koji me svjetuje te me i noću srce opominje.
8 I placed YHWH before me continually, Because [He is] at my right hand I am not moved.
Jahve mi je svagda pred očima; jer mi je zdesna, neću posrnuti.
9 Therefore my heart has been glad, And my glory rejoices, Also my flesh dwells confidently:
Stog' mi se raduje srce i kliče duša, i tijelo mi spokojno počiva.
10 For You do not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor give your Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol )
Jer mi nećeš ostavit' dušu u Podzemlju ni dati da pravednik tvoj truleži ugleda. (Sheol )
11 You cause me to know the path of life; In Your presence [is] fullness of joys, Pleasant things [are] by Your right hand forever!
Pokazat ćeš mi stazu u život, puninu radosti pred licem svojim, sebi zdesna blaženstvo vječno.
