Psalms 16
1 [A Poem by David.] Preserve me, God, for in you do I take refuge.
Odlična pesem Davidova. Reši me, Bog mogočni; ker k tebi pribegam:
2 I said to YHWH, "You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing."
Gospodu govoriš: Gospod si moj, blaga mojega ne bodeš hranil pri sebi:
3 As for the holy ones who are in the land, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.
Svetim, ki so v deželi in veličastnim ga podeliš; na katerih je vse razveseljevanje moje.
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.
Njim množijo bolečine kateri drugemu delé; daroval ne bodem njih krvavih daritev, ne jemal njih imen na ustne svoje.
5 YHWH is the portion of my inheritance and my cup. You made my lot secure.
Gospod je delež pristave moje in mojega ljudstva; ti vzdržuješ osodo mojo.
6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, beautiful is my inheritance.
Mérne vrvi so mi pale v preprijetnih krajih; tudi posestvo je sprelepo, katero me je doletelo.
7 I will bless YHWH, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
Blagoslavljal bodem Gospoda, kateri mi je dal sovèt; tudi ponoči me podučujejo obisti moje.
8 I have put YHWH before me at all times. Because he is at my right hand I will never be upended.
Predočujem si Gospoda neprestano; ker je na desnici moji, ne omahnem.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.
Zatorej se veseli srce moje in raduje se slava moja; tudi meso moje prebiva brez skrbi.
10 For you will not abandon my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay. (Sheol h7585)
Ker duše moje ne bodeš pustil v grobu, ne pripustil ljubljencu svojemu, da vidi trohnobo. (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.
Naznanjaš mi življenja stezo; najslajših radosti obilost pred obličjem tvojim, na desnici tvoji vekomaj.
