Psalms 16
1 A Precious Psalm of David. Preserve me, O GOD, for I have sought refuge in thee.
Miktam. Davidov. Čuvaj me, Bože, jer se tebi utječem.
2 Thou hast said unto Yahweh, My Lord, art thou! My goodness, mounteth not unto thee.
Jahvi rekoh: “Ti si moj gospodar, nema mi blaženstva bez tebe!”
3 It belongeth unto the holy ones, whom, in his own land, Yahweh, ennobleth, In whom is all his delight
Za svetima što su u zemlji sav plamtim od čežnje!
4 They multiply their idols—another, have they purchased! I will not pour out their drink-offerings of blood, nor will 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 Yahweh, is mine allotted portion and my cup, Thou, art maintaining my lot.
Jahve mi je baština i kalež: Ti u ruci držiš moju sudbinu.
6 The lines, have fallen unto me, in pleasant places, Verily an inheritance that delighteth me.
Na divnu zemlju padoše mi konopi, vrlo mi je mila moja baština.
7 I will bless Yahweh, who hath counselled me, —Surely, by night, shall mine impulses admonish me.
Blagoslivljam Jahvu koji me svjetuje te me i noću srce opominje.
8 I have set Yahweh before me continually, because he is on my right hand, I shall not be shaken!
Jahve mi je svagda pred očima; jer mi je zdesna, neću posrnuti.
9 Therefore, hath my heart rejoiced, and mine honour exulted, Yea, my flesh, shall settle down securely;
Stog' mi se raduje srce i kliče duša, i tijelo mi spokojno počiva.
10 For thou wilt not abandon my soul to hades, neither wilt thou suffer thy man of lovingkindness, to see corruption: (Sheol h7585)
Jer mi nećeš ostavit' dušu u Podzemlju ni dati da pravednik tvoj truleži ugleda. (Sheol h7585)
11 Thou wilt cause me to know, the path of life, —Fulness of joys before thee, Pleasures at thy right hand evermore.
Pokazat ćeš mi stazu u život, puninu radosti pred licem svojim, sebi zdesna blaženstvo vječno.
