Psalmi 16
1 Varuj me, oh Bog, kajti vate polagam svoje trdno upanje.
[A Poem by David.] Preserve me, God, for in you do I take refuge.
2 O moja duša, Gospodu si rekla: »Ti si moj Gospod. Moja dobrota se ne razteza do tebe,
I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing."
3 temveč k svetim, ki so na zemlji in k odličnim, v katerih je vse moje zadovoljstvo.«
As for the holy ones who are in the land, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.
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.
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 delež moje dediščine in moje skodelice. Ti ohranjaš mojo usodo.
The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and my cup. You made my lot secure.
6 Vrvice so mi padle na prijetnih krajih; da, lepo dediščino imam.
The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, beautiful is my inheritance.
7 Blagoslavljal bom Gospoda, ki mi je dal nasvet. Moja notranjost me prav tako poučuje v nočnih obdobjih.
I will bless the LORD, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
8 Vedno sem pred seboj postavljal Gospoda; ker je pri moji desnici, ne bom omajan.
I have put the LORD before me at all times. Because he is at my right hand I will never be upended.
9 Zato je moje srce veselo in moja slava se razveseljuje; tudi moje meso bo počivalo v upanju.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.
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 my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay. (Sheol h7585)
11 Pokazal mi boš stezo življenja. V tvoji prisotnosti je polnost radosti, pri tvoji desnici so zadovoljstva na vékomaj.
You make known to me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.
