Psalms 16
1 A writing of David. Keep me, O Lord; for I have hoped in you.
Varuj me, oh Bog, kajti vate polagam svoje trdno upanje.
2 I said to the Lord, You are my Lord; for you has no need of my goodness.
O moja duša, Gospodu si rekla: »Ti si moj Gospod. Moja dobrota se ne razteza do tebe,
3 On behalf of the saints that are in his land, he has magnified all his pleasure in them.
temveč k svetim, ki so na zemlji in k odličnim, v katerih je vse moje zadovoljstvo.«
4 Their weaknesses have been multiplied; afterward they hasted. I will by no means assemble their bloody meetings, neither will I make mention of their names with my lips.
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.
5 The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: you are he that restores my inheritance to me.
Gospod je delež moje dediščine in moje skodelice. Ti ohranjaš mojo usodo.
6 The lines have fallen to me in the best places, yes, I have a most excellent heritage.
Vrvice so mi padle na prijetnih krajih; da, lepo dediščino imam.
7 I will bless the Lord who has instructed me; my reins too have chastened me even till night.
Blagoslavljal bom Gospoda, ki mi je dal nasvet. Moja notranjost me prav tako poučuje v nočnih obdobjih.
8 I foresaw the Lord always before my face; for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.
Vedno sem pred seboj postavljal Gospoda; ker je pri moji desnici, ne bom omajan.
9 Therefore my heart rejoiced an my tongue exulted; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
Zato je moje srce veselo in moja slava se razveseljuje; tudi moje meso bo počivalo v upanju.
10 because you will not leave my soul in hell, neither will you suffer your Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
Kajti moje duše ne boš pustil v peklu niti ne boš trpel, da bi tvoj Sveti videl trohnobo. (Sheol h7585)
11 You have made known to me the ways of life; you will fill me with joy with your countenance: at your right hand [there are] delights for ever.
Pokazal mi boš stezo življenja. V tvoji prisotnosti je polnost radosti, pri tvoji desnici so zadovoljstva na vékomaj.
