Psalms 16
1 A michtam of David. Protect me, God, for I take refuge in you.
Varuj me, oh Bog, kajti vate polagam svoje trdno upanje.
2 I say to Yahweh, “You are my Lord; my goodness is nothing apart from you.
O moja duša, Gospodu si rekla: »Ti si moj Gospod. Moja dobrota se ne razteza do tebe,
3 As for the holy people who are on the earth, they are noble people; all my delight is in them.
temveč k svetim, ki so na zemlji in k odličnim, v katerih je vse moje zadovoljstvo.«
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.
Njihove bridkosti se bodo pomnožile, ki hitijo za drugim bogom. Njihovih krvavih pitnih daritev ne bom daroval niti njihovih imen ne bom jemal na svoje ustnice.
5 Yahweh, you are my chosen portion and my cup. You hold onto my lot.
Gospod je delež moje dediščine in moje skodelice. Ti ohranjaš mojo usodo.
6 Measuring lines have been laid for me in pleasant places; surely a pleasing inheritance is mine.
Vrvice so mi padle na prijetnih krajih; da, lepo dediščino imam.
7 I will bless Yahweh, who counsels me; even at night my mind instructs me.
Blagoslavljal bom Gospoda, ki mi je dal nasvet. Moja notranjost me prav tako poučuje v nočnih obdobjih.
8 I set Yahweh before me at all times, so I will not be shaken from his right hand!
Vedno sem pred seboj postavljal Gospoda; ker je pri moji desnici, ne bom omajan.
9 Therefore my heart is glad; my glory is rejoicing. Surely I will live in security.
Zato je moje srce veselo in moja slava se razveseljuje; tudi moje meso bo počivalo v upanju.
10 For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol. You will not let your faithful one see the pit. (Sheol h7585)
Kajti moje duše ne boš pustil v peklu niti ne boš trpel, da bi tvoj Sveti videl trohnobo. (Sheol h7585)
11 You teach me the path of life; abundant joy resides in your presence; delights abide in your right hand forever!”
Pokazal mi boš stezo življenja. V tvoji prisotnosti je polnost radosti, pri tvoji desnici so zadovoljstva na vékomaj.
