< Psalms 16 >
1 A Secret Treasure of David. Preserve me, O God, for I did trust in Thee.
Odlična pesem Davidova. Reši me, Bog mogočni; ker k tebi pribegam:
2 Thou hast said to Jehovah, 'My Lord Thou [art];' My good [is] not for thine own sake;
Gospodu govoriš: Gospod si moj, blaga mojega ne bodeš hranil pri sebi:
3 For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the honourable, all my delight [is] in them.
Svetim, ki so v deželi in veličastnim ga podeliš; na katerih je vse razveseljevanje moje.
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.
Njim množijo bolečine kateri drugemu delé; daroval ne bodem njih krvavih daritev, ne jemal njih imen na ustne svoje.
5 Jehovah [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, Thou — Thou dost uphold my lot.
Gospod je delež pristave moje in mojega ljudstva; ti vzdržuješ osodo mojo.
6 Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Yea, a beauteous inheritance [is] for me.
Mérne vrvi so mi pale v preprijetnih krajih; tudi posestvo je sprelepo, katero me je doletelo.
7 I bless Jehovah who hath counselled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me.
Blagoslavljal bodem Gospoda, kateri mi je dal sovèt; tudi ponoči me podučujejo obisti moje.
8 I did place Jehovah before me continually, Because — at my right hand I am not moved.
Predočujem si Gospoda neprestano; ker je na desnici moji, ne omahnem.
9 Therefore hath my heart been glad, And my honour doth rejoice, Also my flesh dwelleth confidently:
Zatorej se veseli srce moje in raduje se slava moja; tudi meso moje prebiva brez skrbi.
10 For Thou dost not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor givest thy saintly one to see corruption. (Sheol )
Ker duše moje ne bodeš pustil v grobu, ne pripustil ljubljencu svojemu, da vidi trohnobo. (Sheol )
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!
Naznanjaš mi življenja stezo; najslajših radosti obilost pred obličjem tvojim, na desnici tvoji vekomaj.
