Psalms 16
1 A Secret Treasure of David. Preserve me, O God, for I did trust in Thee.
Varuj me, oh Bog, kajti vate polagam svoje trdno upanje.
2 Thou hast said to Jehovah, 'My Lord Thou [art];' My good [is] not for thine own sake;
O moja duša, Gospodu si rekla: »Ti si moj Gospod. Moja dobrota se ne razteza do tebe,
3 For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the honourable, all my delight [is] in them.
temveč k svetim, ki so na zemlji in k odličnim, v katerih je vse moje zadovoljstvo.«
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.
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 Jehovah [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, Thou — Thou dost uphold my lot.
Gospod je delež moje dediščine in moje skodelice. Ti ohranjaš mojo usodo.
6 Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Yea, a beauteous inheritance [is] for me.
Vrvice so mi padle na prijetnih krajih; da, lepo dediščino imam.
7 I bless Jehovah who hath counselled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me.
Blagoslavljal bom Gospoda, ki mi je dal nasvet. Moja notranjost me prav tako poučuje v nočnih obdobjih.
8 I did place Jehovah before me continually, Because — at my right hand I am not moved.
Vedno sem pred seboj postavljal Gospoda; ker je pri moji desnici, ne bom omajan.
9 Therefore hath my heart been glad, And my honour doth rejoice, Also my flesh dwelleth confidently:
Zato je moje srce veselo in moja slava se razveseljuje; tudi moje meso bo počivalo v upanju.
10 For Thou dost not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor givest thy saintly one to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
Kajti moje duše ne boš pustil v peklu niti ne boš trpel, da bi tvoj Sveti videl trohnobo. (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!
Pokazal mi boš stezo življenja. V tvoji prisotnosti je polnost radosti, pri tvoji desnici so zadovoljstva na vékomaj.
