< Psalms 16 >
1 A michtam of David. Protect me, God, for I take refuge in you.
Èuvaj me, Bože; jer se u te uzdam.
2 I say to Yahweh, “You are my Lord; my goodness is nothing apart from you.
Rekoh Gospodu: ti si Gospod moj, nemam dobra osim tebe.
3 As for the holy people who are on the earth, they are noble people; all my delight is in them.
U svetima koji su na zemlji i u velikima sva je utjeha moja.
4 Their troubles will be increased, those who seek out other gods. I will not pour out drink offerings of blood to their gods or lift up their names with 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 Yahweh, you are my chosen portion and my cup. You hold onto my lot.
Gospod je moj dio našljedstva i èaše; ti podižeš dostojanje moje.
6 Measuring lines have been laid for me in pleasant places; surely a pleasing inheritance is mine.
Uže mi je zahvatilo prekrasna mjesta, i dio mi je moj mio.
7 I will bless Yahweh, who counsels me; even at night my mind instructs me.
Blagosiljam Gospoda, koji me urazumljuje; tomu me i noæu uèi što je u meni.
8 I set Yahweh before me at all times, so I will not be shaken from his right hand!
Svagda vidim pred sobom Gospoda: on mi je s desne strane da ne posrnem.
9 Therefore my heart is glad; my glory is rejoicing. Surely I will live in security.
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 to Sheol. You will not let your faithful one see the pit. (Sheol )
Jer neæeš ostaviti duše moje u paklu, niti æeš dati da svetac tvoj vidi truhlost. (Sheol )
11 You teach me the path of life; abundant joy resides in your presence; delights abide in your right hand forever!”
Pokazaæeš mi put životni: obilje je radosti pred licem tvojim, utjeha u desnici tvojoj dovijeka.
