Mazmur 16
1 Mazmur Daud. Jagalah aku, ya Allah, sebab pada-Mu aku berlindung.
God, protect me because I go to you to keep me safe!
2 Aku berkata, "Engkaulah Tuhanku, kebahagiaanku, tak ada yang melebihi Engkau!"
I said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord; all the good things that I have come from you.”
3 Kuhormati orang-orang suci di negeri ini; kesukaanku ialah tinggal bersama mereka.
Your people who live in this land are wonderful; I delight to be with 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 to worship other gods will have many things that cause them to be sad. I will not join them when they make sacrifices [to their gods]; I will not even join them when they speak [MTY] the names of their gods.
5 TUHAN, Engkau saja yang kumiliki; Engkau memberi segala yang kuperlukan, nasibku ada di tangan-Mu.
Yahweh, you are the one whom I have chosen, and you give me great blessings. You protect me and control what happens to me.
6 Sungguh indah pemberian-Mu bagiku, sangat menyenangkan hatiku!
Yahweh has given me a wonderful place in which to live; I am delighted with all the things that he has given me [MET].
7 Aku memuji TUHAN yang menasihati aku; di waktu malam pun suara hatiku mengajari aku.
I will praise Yahweh, the one who teaches/disciplines me; even at night [he] you put in my mind what is right for me to do.
8 Aku selalu ingat kepada TUHAN; Ia ada di sampingku, maka aku tidak goyah.
I know that Yahweh is always with me. He is beside me; so nothing will (perturb me/cause me to be worried).
9 Sebab itu hatiku gembira dan jiwaku bersorak, dan tubuhku beristirahat dengan tentram.
Therefore I am glad and I [MTY, DOU] rejoice; I can rest securely
10 Sebab Engkau tidak membiarkan aku mati; orang yang Kaukasihi tidak Kaubiarkan binasa. (Sheol h7585)
because you, Yahweh, will not allow my soul/spirit to remain in the place where the dead people are; you will not allow me, your godly one, to stay there. (Sheol h7585)
11 Kautunjukkan kepadaku jalan menuju kehidupan; pada-Mu aku mendapat kegembiraan berlimpah dan kebahagiaan untuk selama-lamanya.
You will show me the road that leads to [receiving eternal] life, and you will make me joyful when I am with you. I will have pleasure forever when I am (at your right hand/seated next to you).
