< Psalmi 16 >
1 Dāvida sirds dziesma. Pasargi mani, ak Dievs! jo es paļaujos uz Tevi.
Michtam. Of David. Keep me safe, O God: for in you I have put my faith.
2 Es saku uz To Kungu: Tu esi Tas Kungs, bez Tevis man labuma nav.
O my soul, you have said to the Lord, You are my Lord: I have no good but you.
3 Pie tiem svētiem, kas virs zemes, un tiem godīgiem ir viss mans labais prāts.
As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the noble in whom is all my delight.
4 Tiem, kas pieņem citu dievu, būs lielas sāpes; es neupurēšu viņu asiņu dzeramos upurus, un neņemšu savā mutē viņu vārdu.
Their sorrows will be increased who go after another god: I will not take drink offerings from their hands, or take their names on my lips.
5 Tas Kungs ir mana tiesa un mana daļa, Tu glabā manu mantas tiesu.
The Lord is my heritage and the wine of my cup; you are the supporter of my right.
6 Man daļa tikusi jaukā vietā, tiešām, man ir nākusi skaista manta.
Fair are the places marked out for me; I have a noble heritage.
7 Es slavēšu To Kungu, kas man dod padomu, pat naktī mana sirds mani pamāca.
I will give praise to the Lord who has been my guide; knowledge comes to me from my thoughts in the night.
8 Es turu To Kungu bez mitēšanās savā priekšā, jo Viņš man ir pa labai rokai, - es nešaubīšos.
I have put the Lord before me at all times; because he is at my right hand, I will not be moved.
9 Tādēļ mana sirds priecājās, un mans gods līksmojās, un pat mana miesa dzīvos droši.
Because of this my heart is glad, and my glory is full of joy: while my flesh takes its rest in hope.
10 Jo Tu manu dvēseli nepametīsi kapā, Savam Svētam Tu neliksi redzēt satrūdēšanu. (Sheol )
For you will not let my soul be prisoned in the underworld; you will not let your loved one see the place of death. (Sheol )
11 Tu man dari zināmu dzīvības ceļu, priekš Tava vaiga ir līksmošanās pilnība, un prieks un jaukums pie Tavas labās rokas mūžīgi.
You will make clear to me the way of life; where you are joy is complete; in your right hand there are pleasures for ever and ever.
