< Psalms 16 >
1 A MIKTAM OF DAVID. Preserve me, O God, for I trusted in You.
Mazmur Daud. Jagalah aku, ya Allah, sebab pada-Mu aku berlindung.
2 You have said to YHWH, “You [are] my Lord”; My goodness [is] not above You;
Aku berkata, "Engkaulah Tuhanku, kebahagiaanku, tak ada yang melebihi Engkau!"
3 For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the honorable, all my delight [is] in them.
Kuhormati orang-orang suci di negeri ini; kesukaanku ialah tinggal bersama mereka.
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.
Biarlah orang yang menyembah dewa-dewa bertambah-tambah kesedihannya. Aku tak mau berkurban kepada dewa-dewa, bahkan tak mau menyebut nama mereka.
5 YHWH [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, You uphold my lot.
TUHAN, Engkau saja yang kumiliki; Engkau memberi segala yang kuperlukan, nasibku ada di tangan-Mu.
6 Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Indeed, a beautiful inheritance [is] for me.
Sungguh indah pemberian-Mu bagiku, sangat menyenangkan hatiku!
7 I bless YHWH who has counseled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me.
Aku memuji TUHAN yang menasihati aku; di waktu malam pun suara hatiku mengajari aku.
8 I placed YHWH before me continually, Because [He is] at my right hand I am not moved.
Aku selalu ingat kepada TUHAN; Ia ada di sampingku, maka aku tidak goyah.
9 Therefore my heart has been glad, And my glory rejoices, Also my flesh dwells confidently:
Sebab itu hatiku gembira dan jiwaku bersorak, dan tubuhku beristirahat dengan tentram.
10 For You do not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor give your Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol )
Sebab Engkau tidak membiarkan aku mati; orang yang Kaukasihi tidak Kaubiarkan binasa. (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!
Kautunjukkan kepadaku jalan menuju kehidupan; pada-Mu aku mendapat kegembiraan berlimpah dan kebahagiaan untuk selama-lamanya.
