Mazmur 16
1 Mazmur Daud. Jagalah aku, ya Allah, sebab pada-Mu aku berlindung.
A writing of David. Keep me, O Lord; for I have hoped in you.
2 Aku berkata, "Engkaulah Tuhanku, kebahagiaanku, tak ada yang melebihi Engkau!"
I said to the Lord, You are my Lord; for you has no need of my goodness.
3 Kuhormati orang-orang suci di negeri ini; kesukaanku ialah tinggal bersama mereka.
On behalf of the saints that are in his land, he has magnified all his pleasure in them.
4 Biarlah orang yang menyembah dewa-dewa bertambah-tambah kesedihannya. Aku tak mau berkurban kepada dewa-dewa, bahkan tak mau menyebut nama mereka.
Their weaknesses have been multiplied; afterward they hasted. I will by no means assemble their bloody meetings, neither will I make mention of their names with my lips.
5 TUHAN, Engkau saja yang kumiliki; Engkau memberi segala yang kuperlukan, nasibku ada di tangan-Mu.
The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: you are he that restores my inheritance to me.
6 Sungguh indah pemberian-Mu bagiku, sangat menyenangkan hatiku!
The lines have fallen to me in the best places, yes, I have a most excellent heritage.
7 Aku memuji TUHAN yang menasihati aku; di waktu malam pun suara hatiku mengajari aku.
I will bless the Lord who has instructed me; my reins too have chastened me even till night.
8 Aku selalu ingat kepada TUHAN; Ia ada di sampingku, maka aku tidak goyah.
I foresaw the Lord always before my face; for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.
9 Sebab itu hatiku gembira dan jiwaku bersorak, dan tubuhku beristirahat dengan tentram.
Therefore my heart rejoiced an my tongue exulted; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
10 Sebab Engkau tidak membiarkan aku mati; orang yang Kaukasihi tidak Kaubiarkan binasa. (Sheol h7585)
because you will not leave my soul in hell, neither will you suffer your Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
11 Kautunjukkan kepadaku jalan menuju kehidupan; pada-Mu aku mendapat kegembiraan berlimpah dan kebahagiaan untuk selama-lamanya.
You have made known to me the ways of life; you will fill me with joy with your countenance: at your right hand [there are] delights for ever.
