Psalms 16
1 A Poem by David. Preserve me, God, for I take refuge in you.
Miktam. Davidov. Čuvaj me, Bože, jer se tebi utječem.
2 My soul, you have said to the LORD, “You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing.”
Jahvi rekoh: “Ti si moj gospodar, nema mi blaženstva bez tebe!”
3 As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.
Za svetima što su u zemlji sav plamtim od čežnje!
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts to another god. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips.
Gomilaju patnje moje koji slijede bogove tuđe. Ja im ljevanica nalijevat' neću, ime im spominjat' neću usnama.
5 The LORD assigned my portion and my cup. You made my lot secure.
Jahve mi je baština i kalež: Ti u ruci držiš moju sudbinu.
6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good inheritance.
Na divnu zemlju padoše mi konopi, vrlo mi je mila moja baština.
7 I will bless the LORD, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
Blagoslivljam Jahvu koji me svjetuje te me i noću srce opominje.
8 I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Jahve mi je svagda pred očima; jer mi je zdesna, neću posrnuti.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.
Stog' mi se raduje srce i kliče duša, i tijelo mi spokojno počiva.
10 For you will not leave my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
Jer mi nećeš ostavit' dušu u Podzemlju ni dati da pravednik tvoj truleži ugleda. (Sheol h7585)
11 You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.
Pokazat ćeš mi stazu u život, puninu radosti pred licem svojim, sebi zdesna blaženstvo vječno.
