Psalms 16
1 A Secret Treasure of David. Preserve me, O God, for I did trust in Thee.
Miktam. Davidov. Čuvaj me, Bože, jer se tebi utječem.
2 Thou hast said to Jehovah, 'My Lord Thou [art];' My good [is] not for thine own sake;
Jahvi rekoh: “Ti si moj gospodar, nema mi blaženstva bez tebe!”
3 For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the honourable, all my delight [is] in them.
Za svetima što su u zemlji sav plamtim od čežnje!
4 Multiplied are their griefs, [Who] have hastened backward; I pour not out their libations of blood, Nor do 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 Jehovah [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, Thou — Thou dost uphold my lot.
Jahve mi je baština i kalež: Ti u ruci držiš moju sudbinu.
6 Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Yea, a beauteous inheritance [is] for me.
Na divnu zemlju padoše mi konopi, vrlo mi je mila moja baština.
7 I bless Jehovah who hath counselled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me.
Blagoslivljam Jahvu koji me svjetuje te me i noću srce opominje.
8 I did place Jehovah before me continually, Because — at my right hand I am not moved.
Jahve mi je svagda pred očima; jer mi je zdesna, neću posrnuti.
9 Therefore hath my heart been glad, And my honour doth rejoice, Also my flesh dwelleth confidently:
Stog' mi se raduje srce i kliče duša, i tijelo mi spokojno počiva.
10 For Thou dost not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor givest thy saintly one to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
Jer mi nećeš ostavit' dušu u Podzemlju ni dati da pravednik tvoj truleži ugleda. (Sheol h7585)
11 Thou causest me to know the path of life; Fulness of joys [is] with Thy presence, Pleasant things by Thy right hand for ever!
Pokazat ćeš mi stazu u život, puninu radosti pred licem svojim, sebi zdesna blaženstvo vječno.
