Mazmur 16
1 Mazmur Daud. Jagalah aku, ya Allah, sebab pada-Mu aku berlindung.
A michtam of David. Keep me, O God, for in you I take refuge.
2 Aku berkata, "Engkaulah Tuhanku, kebahagiaanku, tak ada yang melebihi Engkau!"
I said to the Lord, “You are my Lord, my happiness rests in you alone.
3 Kuhormati orang-orang suci di negeri ini; kesukaanku ialah tinggal bersama mereka.
Those who are holy in the land, they, they alone, are the noble ones; all my delight is 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.
Those who choose other gods find endless sorrow. In their offerings of blood I will have no part nor take their name on my lips.
5 TUHAN, Engkau saja yang kumiliki; Engkau memberi segala yang kuperlukan, nasibku ada di tangan-Mu.
The Lord is my share and my portion, my fate is in your strong hands.
6 Sungguh indah pemberian-Mu bagiku, sangat menyenangkan hatiku!
The boundary lines of my life mark out delightful country, my heritage pleases me well.
7 Aku memuji TUHAN yang menasihati aku; di waktu malam pun suara hatiku mengajari aku.
I praise the Lord for his counsel, which so stirs my heart in the night.
8 Aku selalu ingat kepada TUHAN; Ia ada di sampingku, maka aku tidak goyah.
I keep the Lord always in mind: with him at my hand, I can never be moved.
9 Sebab itu hatiku gembira dan jiwaku bersorak, dan tubuhku beristirahat dengan tentram.
So my heart is glad, there is joy inside me; and in safety of body I live.
10 Sebab Engkau tidak membiarkan aku mati; orang yang Kaukasihi tidak Kaubiarkan binasa. (Sheol h7585)
For you will not give me up to Sheol nor let any who love you see the pit. (Sheol h7585)
11 Kautunjukkan kepadaku jalan menuju kehidupan; pada-Mu aku mendapat kegembiraan berlimpah dan kebahagiaan untuk selama-lamanya.
You will show me the path that leads to life, to that fulness of joy which is in your presence, and the pleasures dispensed by your hand evermore.
