Psalmi 16
1 Dāvida sirds dziesma. Pasargi mani, ak Dievs! jo es paļaujos uz Tevi.
A michtam of David. Keep me, O God, for in you I take refuge.
2 Es saku uz To Kungu: Tu esi Tas Kungs, bez Tevis man labuma nav.
I said to the Lord, ‘You are my Lord, my happiness rests in you alone.
3 Pie tiem svētiem, kas virs zemes, un tiem godīgiem ir viss mans labais prāts.
Those who are holy in the land, they, they alone, are the noble ones; all my delight is in them.’
4 Tiem, kas pieņem citu dievu, būs lielas sāpes; es neupurēšu viņu asiņu dzeramos upurus, un neņemšu savā mutē viņu vārdu.
Those who choose other gods find endless sorrow. In their offerings of blood I will have no part nor take their name on my lips.
5 Tas Kungs ir mana tiesa un mana daļa, Tu glabā manu mantas tiesu.
The Lord is my share and my portion, my fate is in your strong hands.
6 Man daļa tikusi jaukā vietā, tiešām, man ir nākusi skaista manta.
The boundary lines of my life mark out delightful country, my heritage pleases me well.
7 Es slavēšu To Kungu, kas man dod padomu, pat naktī mana sirds mani pamāca.
I praise the Lord for his counsel, which so stirs my heart in the night.
8 Es turu To Kungu bez mitēšanās savā priekšā, jo Viņš man ir pa labai rokai, - es nešaubīšos.
I keep the Lord always in mind: with him at my hand, I can never be moved.
9 Tādēļ mana sirds priecājās, un mans gods līksmojās, un pat mana miesa dzīvos droši.
So my heart is glad, there is joy inside me; and in safety of body I live.
For you will not give me up to Sheol nor let any who love you see the pit. (Sheol h7585)
11 Tu man dari zināmu dzīvības ceļu, priekš Tava vaiga ir līksmošanās pilnība, un prieks un jaukums pie Tavas labās rokas mūžīgi.
You will show me the path that leads to life, to that fulness of joy which is in your presence, and the pleasures dispensed by your hand evermore.
