< 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 )
For you will not abandon my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay. (Sheol )
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.
