Psalms 16
1 [A Poem by David.] Preserve me, God, for in you do I take refuge.
Miktam. Davidov. Čuvaj me, Bože, jer se tebi utječem.
2 I said to YHWH, "You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing."
Jahvi rekoh: “Ti si moj gospodar, nema mi blaženstva bez tebe!”
3 As for the holy ones who are in the land, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.
Za svetima što su u zemlji sav plamtim od čežnje!
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.
Gomilaju patnje moje koji slijede bogove tuđe. Ja im ljevanica nalijevat' neću, ime im spominjat' neću usnama.
5 YHWH is the portion of my inheritance and my cup. You made my lot secure.
Jahve mi je baština i kalež: Ti u ruci držiš moju sudbinu.
6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, beautiful is my inheritance.
Na divnu zemlju padoše mi konopi, vrlo mi je mila moja baština.
7 I will bless YHWH, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
Blagoslivljam Jahvu koji me svjetuje te me i noću srce opominje.
8 I have put YHWH before me at all times. Because he is at my right hand I will never be upended.
Jahve mi je svagda pred očima; jer mi je zdesna, neću posrnuti.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.
Stog' mi se raduje srce i kliče duša, i tijelo mi spokojno počiva.
10 For you will not abandon my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay. (Sheol h7585)
Jer mi nećeš ostavit' dušu u Podzemlju ni dati da pravednik tvoj truleži ugleda. (Sheol h7585)
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.
Pokazat ćeš mi stazu u život, puninu radosti pred licem svojim, sebi zdesna blaženstvo vječno.
