< Psalmi 16 >
1 Dāvida sirds dziesma. Pasargi mani, ak Dievs! jo es paļaujos uz Tevi.
A writing of David. Keep me, O Lord; for I have hoped in you.
2 Es saku uz To Kungu: Tu esi Tas Kungs, bez Tevis man labuma nav.
I said to the Lord, You are my Lord; for you has no need of my goodness.
3 Pie tiem svētiem, kas virs zemes, un tiem godīgiem ir viss mans labais prāts.
On behalf of the saints that are in his land, he has magnified all his pleasure in them.
4 Tiem, kas pieņem citu dievu, būs lielas sāpes; es neupurēšu viņu asiņu dzeramos upurus, un neņemšu savā mutē viņu vārdu.
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 Tas Kungs ir mana tiesa un mana daļa, Tu glabā manu mantas tiesu.
The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: you are he that restores my inheritance to me.
6 Man daļa tikusi jaukā vietā, tiešām, man ir nākusi skaista manta.
The lines have fallen to me in the best places, yes, I have a most excellent heritage.
7 Es slavēšu To Kungu, kas man dod padomu, pat naktī mana sirds mani pamāca.
I will bless the Lord who has instructed me; my reins too have chastened me even till night.
8 Es turu To Kungu bez mitēšanās savā priekšā, jo Viņš man ir pa labai rokai, - es nešaubīšos.
I foresaw the Lord always before my face; for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.
9 Tādēļ mana sirds priecājās, un mans gods līksmojās, un pat mana miesa dzīvos droši.
Therefore my heart rejoiced an my tongue exulted; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
10 Jo Tu manu dvēseli nepametīsi kapā, Savam Svētam Tu neliksi redzēt satrūdēšanu. (Sheol )
because you will not leave my soul in hell, neither will you suffer your Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol )
11 Tu man dari zināmu dzīvības ceļu, priekš Tava vaiga ir līksmošanās pilnība, un prieks un jaukums pie Tavas labās rokas mūžīgi.
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.
