Mazmur 16
1 Mazmur Daud. Jagalah aku, ya Allah, sebab pada-Mu aku berlindung.
[A Poem by David.] Preserve me, God, for in you do I take refuge.
2 Aku berkata, "Engkaulah Tuhanku, kebahagiaanku, tak ada yang melebihi Engkau!"
I said to Jehovah, "You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing."
3 Kuhormati orang-orang suci di negeri ini; kesukaanku ialah tinggal bersama mereka.
As for the holy ones who are in the land, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.
4 Biarlah orang yang menyembah dewa-dewa bertambah-tambah kesedihannya. Aku tak mau berkurban kepada dewa-dewa, bahkan tak mau menyebut nama mereka.
Their sorrows will multiply who pay a dowry for another. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips.
5 TUHAN, Engkau saja yang kumiliki; Engkau memberi segala yang kuperlukan, nasibku ada di tangan-Mu.
Jehovah is the portion of my inheritance and my cup. You made my lot secure.
6 Sungguh indah pemberian-Mu bagiku, sangat menyenangkan hatiku!
The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, beautiful is my inheritance.
7 Aku memuji TUHAN yang menasihati aku; di waktu malam pun suara hatiku mengajari aku.
I will bless Jehovah, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
8 Aku selalu ingat kepada TUHAN; Ia ada di sampingku, maka aku tidak goyah.
I have put Jehovah before me at all times. Because he is at my right hand I will never be upended.
9 Sebab itu hatiku gembira dan jiwaku bersorak, dan tubuhku beristirahat dengan tentram.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.
10 Sebab Engkau tidak membiarkan aku mati; orang yang Kaukasihi tidak Kaubiarkan binasa. (Sheol h7585)
For you will not abandon my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay. (Sheol h7585)
11 Kautunjukkan kepadaku jalan menuju kehidupan; pada-Mu aku mendapat kegembiraan berlimpah dan kebahagiaan untuk selama-lamanya.
You make known to me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.
