Mazmur 16
1 Mazmur Daud. Jagalah aku, ya Allah, sebab pada-Mu aku berlindung.
“A Michtham of David.” Preserve me, O God; for I have placed my trust in thee.
2 Aku berkata, "Engkaulah Tuhanku, kebahagiaanku, tak ada yang melebihi Engkau!"
[O my soul], thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my happiness is not without thee;
3 Kuhormati orang-orang suci di negeri ini; kesukaanku ialah tinggal bersama mereka.
[But] in the saints who are on the earth, and in the excellent—in them is all my delight.
4 Biarlah orang yang menyembah dewa-dewa bertambah-tambah kesedihannya. Aku tak mau berkurban kepada dewa-dewa, bahkan tak mau menyebut nama mereka.
Multiplied shall be the sorrows of those who give presents to another god: I will not pour out their drink-offerings of blood, nor bear their names upon my lips.
5 TUHAN, Engkau saja yang kumiliki; Engkau memberi segala yang kuperlukan, nasibku ada di tangan-Mu.
Thou, O Lord, art the portion of my inheritance, and my cup; thou hast drawn my lot.
6 Sungguh indah pemberian-Mu bagiku, sangat menyenangkan hatiku!
My possessions are fallen in agreeable places: yea, my heritage is pleasant to me.
7 Aku memuji TUHAN yang menasihati aku; di waktu malam pun suara hatiku mengajari aku.
I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel: also in the night seasons my reins admonish me.
8 Aku selalu ingat kepada TUHAN; Ia ada di sampingku, maka aku tidak goyah.
I have always set the Lord before me, that, being at my right hand, I might not be moved.
9 Sebab itu hatiku gembira dan jiwaku bersorak, dan tubuhku beristirahat dengan tentram.
Therefore is rejoiced my heart, and my spirit is glad: also my flesh shall rest in safety.
10 Sebab Engkau tidak membiarkan aku mati; orang yang Kaukasihi tidak Kaubiarkan binasa. (Sheol h7585)
For thou wilt not abandon my soul to the grave: thou wilt not suffer thy pious [servant] to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
11 Kautunjukkan kepadaku jalan menuju kehidupan; pada-Mu aku mendapat kegembiraan berlimpah dan kebahagiaan untuk selama-lamanya.
Thou wilt let me know the path of life: fulness of joy is in thy presence; pleasures are at thy right hand for evermore.
