< Psalms 16 >
1 [A Poem by David.] Preserve me, God, for in you do I take refuge.
Èuvaj me, Bože; jer se u te uzdam.
2 I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing."
Rekoh Gospodu: ti si Gospod moj, nemam dobra osim tebe.
3 As for the holy ones who are in the land, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.
U svetima koji su na zemlji i u velikima sva je utjeha moja.
4 Their sorrows will multiply who pay a dowry for another. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips.
Neka drugi umnožavaju idole svoje, neka trèe k tuðima; ja im neæu ljevati krvavih naljeva, niti æu metnuti imena njihovijeh u usta svoja.
5 The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and my cup. You made my lot secure.
Gospod je moj dio našljedstva i èaše; ti podižeš dostojanje moje.
6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, beautiful is my inheritance.
Uže mi je zahvatilo prekrasna mjesta, i dio mi je moj mio.
7 I will bless the LORD, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
Blagosiljam Gospoda, koji me urazumljuje; tomu me i noæu uèi što je u meni.
8 I have put the LORD before me at all times. Because he is at my right hand I will never be upended.
Svagda vidim pred sobom Gospoda: on mi je s desne strane da ne posrnem.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.
Toga radi raduje se srce moje, i veseli se jezik moj, još æe se i tijelo moje smiriti u uzdanju;
10 For you will not abandon my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay. (Sheol )
Jer neæeš ostaviti duše moje u paklu, niti æeš dati da svetac tvoj vidi truhlost. (Sheol )
11 You make known to me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.
Pokazaæeš mi put životni: obilje je radosti pred licem tvojim, utjeha u desnici tvojoj dovijeka.
