Mazmur 16
1 Mazmur Daud. Jagalah aku, ya Allah, sebab pada-Mu aku berlindung.
The inscription of a title: of David himself. Preserve me, O Lord, because I have hoped in you.
2 Aku berkata, "Engkaulah Tuhanku, kebahagiaanku, tak ada yang melebihi Engkau!"
I have said to the Lord: “You are my God, so you have no need of my goodness.”
3 Kuhormati orang-orang suci di negeri ini; kesukaanku ialah tinggal bersama mereka.
As for the saints, who are in his land: he has made all my desires wonderful in them.
4 Biarlah orang yang menyembah dewa-dewa bertambah-tambah kesedihannya. Aku tak mau berkurban kepada dewa-dewa, bahkan tak mau menyebut nama mereka.
Their infirmities have been multiplied; after this, they acted more quickly. I will not gather for their convocations of blood, nor will I remember their names with my lips.
5 TUHAN, Engkau saja yang kumiliki; Engkau memberi segala yang kuperlukan, nasibku ada di tangan-Mu.
The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and my cup. It is you who will restore my inheritance to me.
6 Sungguh indah pemberian-Mu bagiku, sangat menyenangkan hatiku!
The lots have fallen upon me with clarity. And, indeed, my inheritance has been very clear to me.
7 Aku memuji TUHAN yang menasihati aku; di waktu malam pun suara hatiku mengajari aku.
I will bless the Lord, who has bestowed understanding upon me. Moreover, my temperament has also corrected me, even through the night.
8 Aku selalu ingat kepada TUHAN; Ia ada di sampingku, maka aku tidak goyah.
I have made provision for the Lord always in my sight. For he is at my right hand, so that I may not be disturbed.
9 Sebab itu hatiku gembira dan jiwaku bersorak, dan tubuhku beristirahat dengan tentram.
Because of this, my heart has been joyful, and my tongue has exulted. Moreover, even my body will rest in hope.
10 Sebab Engkau tidak membiarkan aku mati; orang yang Kaukasihi tidak Kaubiarkan binasa. (Sheol h7585)
For you will not abandon my soul to Hell, nor will you allow your holy one to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
11 Kautunjukkan kepadaku jalan menuju kehidupan; pada-Mu aku mendapat kegembiraan berlimpah dan kebahagiaan untuk selama-lamanya.
You have made known to me the ways of life; you will fill me with joy by your countenance. At your right hand are delights, even to the end.
