< Psalmi 16 >

1 Èuvaj me, Bože; jer se u te uzdam.
[A Poem by David.] Preserve me, God, for in you do I take refuge.
2 Rekoh Gospodu: ti si Gospod moj, nemam dobra osim tebe.
I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing."
3 U svetima koji su na zemlji i u velikima sva je utjeha moja.
As for the holy ones who are in the land, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.
4 Neka drugi umnožavaju idole svoje, neka trèe k tuðima; ja im neæu ljevati krvavih naljeva, niti æu metnuti imena njihovijeh u usta svoja.
Their sorrows will multiply who pay a dowry for another. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips.
5 Gospod je moj dio našljedstva i èaše; ti podižeš dostojanje moje.
The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and my cup. You made my lot secure.
6 Uže mi je zahvatilo prekrasna mjesta, i dio mi je moj mio.
The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, beautiful is my inheritance.
7 Blagosiljam Gospoda, koji me urazumljuje; tomu me i noæu uèi što je u meni.
I will bless the LORD, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
8 Svagda vidim pred sobom Gospoda: on mi je s desne strane da ne posrnem.
I have put the LORD before me at all times. Because he is at my right hand I will never be upended.
9 Toga radi raduje se srce moje, i veseli se jezik moj, još æe se i tijelo moje smiriti u uzdanju;
Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.
10 Jer neæeš ostaviti duše moje u paklu, niti æeš dati da svetac tvoj vidi truhlost. (Sheol h7585)
For you will not abandon my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay. (Sheol h7585)
11 Pokazaæeš mi put životni: obilje je radosti pred licem tvojim, utjeha u desnici tvojoj dovijeka.
You make known to me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.
