Psalmi 16
1 Dāvida sirds dziesma. Pasargi mani, ak Dievs! jo es paļaujos uz Tevi.
A psalm (miktam) of David. Take care of me, Lord, for I come to you for protection.
2 Es saku uz To Kungu: Tu esi Tas Kungs, bez Tevis man labuma nav.
I tell the Lord, “Apart from you Lord, I don't have anything that's good.”
3 Pie tiem svētiem, kas virs zemes, un tiem godīgiem ir viss mans labais prāts.
As for the holy people in the land, they are the ones who are truly great. I appreciate them.
4 Tiem, kas pieņem citu dievu, būs lielas sāpes; es neupurēšu viņu asiņu dzeramos upurus, un neņemšu savā mutē viņu vārdu.
Those who run after other gods will face a lot of trouble. I will not participate in their offerings of blood, I will not even speak the names of their gods.
5 Tas Kungs ir mana tiesa un mana daļa, Tu glabā manu mantas tiesu.
Lord, you alone are all I have; you give me what I need; you safeguard my future.
6 Man daļa tikusi jaukā vietā, tiešām, man ir nākusi skaista manta.
The land divisions have worked out in my favor—my property is wonderful!
7 Es slavēšu To Kungu, kas man dod padomu, pat naktī mana sirds mani pamāca.
I will bless the Lord who gives me good advice; even at night my conscience tells me what is right.
8 Es turu To Kungu bez mitēšanās savā priekšā, jo Viņš man ir pa labai rokai, - es nešaubīšos.
I have always kept the Lord in front of me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.
9 Tādēļ mana sirds priecājās, un mans gods līksmojās, un pat mana miesa dzīvos droši.
That's why I'm so happy! That's why I am full of joy! That's why my body lives in hope!
For you will not abandon me in the grave, nor will you allow your Holy One to experience decay. (Sheol h7585)
11 Tu man dari zināmu dzīvības ceļu, priekš Tava vaiga ir līksmošanās pilnība, un prieks un jaukums pie Tavas labās rokas mūžīgi.
You have shown me the path of life, filling me with joy with your presence and the delight of living with you forever.
