Psalms 16
1 God, protect me because I go to you to keep me safe!
En Miktam af David. Vogt mig, Gud, thi jeg lider paa dig!
2 I said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord; all the good things that I have come from you.”
Jeg siger til HERREN: »Du er min Herre; jeg har ikke andet Gode end dig.
3 Your people who live in this land are wonderful; I delight to be with them.
De hellige, som er i Landet, de er de herlige, hvem al min Hu staar til.«
4 Those who choose to worship other gods will have many things that cause them to be sad. I will not join them when they make sacrifices [to their gods]; I will not even join them when they speak [MTY] the names of their gods.
Mange Kvaler rammer dem, som vælger en anden Gud; deres Blodofre vil jeg ikke udgyde, ej tage deres Navn i min Mund.
5 Yahweh, you are the one whom I have chosen, and you give me great blessings. You protect me and control what happens to me.
HERREN er min tilmaalte Del og mit Bæger. Du holder min Arvelod i Hævd.
6 Yahweh has given me a wonderful place in which to live; I am delighted with all the things that he has given me [MET].
Snorene faldt mig paa liflige Steder, ja, en dejlig Arvelod tilfaldt mig.
7 I will praise Yahweh, the one who teaches/disciplines me; even at night [he] you put in my mind what is right for me to do.
Jeg vil prise HERREN, der gav mig Raad, mine Nyrer maner mig, selv om Natten.
8 I know that Yahweh is always with me. He is beside me; so nothing will (perturb me/cause me to be worried).
Jeg har altid HERREN for Øje, han er ved min højre, jeg rokkes ikke.
9 Therefore I am glad and I [MTY, DOU] rejoice; I can rest securely
Derfor glædes mit Hjerte, min Ære jubler, endogsaa mit Kød skal bo i Tryghed.
10 because you, Yahweh, will not allow my soul/spirit to remain in the place where the dead people are; you will not allow me, your godly one, to stay there. (Sheol h7585)
Thi Dødsriget giver du ikke min Sjæl, lader ikke din hellige skue Graven. (Sheol h7585)
11 You will show me the road that leads to [receiving eternal] life, and you will make me joyful when I am with you. I will have pleasure forever when I am (at your right hand/seated next to you).
Du lærer mig Livets Vej; man mættes af Glæde for dit Aasyn, Livsalighed er i din højre for evigt.
