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