Psalms 16
1 A Poem by David. Preserve me, God, for I take refuge in you.
Varuj me, oh Bog, kajti vate polagam svoje trdno upanje.
2 My soul, you have said to the LORD, “You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing.”
O moja duša, Gospodu si rekla: »Ti si moj Gospod. Moja dobrota se ne razteza do tebe,
3 As for the holy ones who are in the earth, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.
temveč k svetim, ki so na zemlji in k odličnim, v katerih je vse moje zadovoljstvo.«
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts to another god. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on 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 assigned my portion and my cup. You made my lot secure.
Gospod je delež moje dediščine in moje skodelice. Ti ohranjaš mojo usodo.
6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good inheritance.
Vrvice so mi padle na prijetnih krajih; da, lepo dediščino imam.
7 I will bless the LORD, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
Blagoslavljal bom Gospoda, ki mi je dal nasvet. Moja notranjost me prav tako poučuje v nočnih obdobjih.
8 I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Vedno sem pred seboj postavljal Gospoda; ker je pri moji desnici, ne bom omajan.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.
Zato je moje srce veselo in moja slava se razveseljuje; tudi moje meso bo počivalo v upanju.
10 For you will not leave my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow 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 will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.
Pokazal mi boš stezo življenja. V tvoji prisotnosti je polnost radosti, pri tvoji desnici so zadovoljstva na vékomaj.
