Psalmi 16
1 Varuj me, oh Bog, kajti vate polagam svoje trdno upanje.
A psalm (miktam) of David. Take care of me, Lord, for I come to you for protection.
2 O moja duša, Gospodu si rekla: »Ti si moj Gospod. Moja dobrota se ne razteza do tebe,
I tell the Lord, “Apart from you Lord, I don't have anything that's good.”
3 temveč k svetim, ki so na zemlji in k odličnim, v katerih je vse moje zadovoljstvo.«
As for the holy people in the land, they are the ones who are truly great. I appreciate them.
4 Njihove bridkosti se bodo pomnožile, ki hitijo za drugim bogom. Njihovih krvavih pitnih daritev ne bom daroval niti njihovih imen ne bom jemal na svoje ustnice.
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 Gospod je delež moje dediščine in moje skodelice. Ti ohranjaš mojo usodo.
Lord, you alone are all I have; you give me what I need; you safeguard my future.
6 Vrvice so mi padle na prijetnih krajih; da, lepo dediščino imam.
The land divisions have worked out in my favor—my property is wonderful!
7 Blagoslavljal bom Gospoda, ki mi je dal nasvet. Moja notranjost me prav tako poučuje v nočnih obdobjih.
I will bless the Lord who gives me good advice; even at night my conscience tells me what is right.
8 Vedno sem pred seboj postavljal Gospoda; ker je pri moji desnici, ne bom omajan.
I have always kept the Lord in front of me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.
9 Zato je moje srce veselo in moja slava se razveseljuje; tudi moje meso bo počivalo v upanju.
That's why I'm so happy! That's why I am full of joy! That's why my body lives in hope!
10 Kajti moje duše ne boš pustil v peklu niti ne boš trpel, da bi tvoj Sveti videl trohnobo. (Sheol h7585)
For you will not abandon me in the grave, nor will you allow your Holy One to experience decay. (Sheol h7585)
11 Pokazal mi boš stezo življenja. V tvoji prisotnosti je polnost radosti, pri tvoji desnici so zadovoljstva na vékomaj.
You have shown me the path of life, filling me with joy with your presence and the delight of living with you forever.
