Psalms, 16

1. A Prayer of David. Lord, listen to my justice, attend to my supplication. Pay attention to my prayer, which is not from deceitful lips.

1. Miktam. Davidov. Èuvaj me, Bože, jer se tebi utjeèem.

2. Let my judgment proceed from your presence. Let your eyes behold fairness.

2. Jahvi rekoh: "Ti si moj gospodar, nema mi blaženstva bez tebe!"

3. You have tested my heart and visited it by night. You have examined me by fire, and iniquity has not been found in me.

3. Za svetima što su u zemlji sav plamtim od èežnje!

4. Therefore, may my mouth not speak the works of men. I have kept to difficult ways because of the words of your lips.

4. Gomilaju patnje moje koji slijede bogove tuðe. Ja im ljevanica nalijevat' neæu, ime im spominjat' neæu usnama.

5. Perfect my steps in your paths, so that my footsteps may not be disturbed.

5. Jahve mi je baština i kalež: Ti u ruci držiš moju sudbinu.

6. I have cried out because you, O God, have listened to me. Incline your ear to me and heed my words.

6. Na divnu zemlju padoše mi konopi, vrlo mi je mila moja baština.

7. Make your mercies wonderful, for you save those who hope in you.

7. Blagoslivljam Jahvu koji me svjetuje te me i noæu srce opominje.

8. From those who resist your right hand, preserve me like the pupil of your eye. Protect me under the shadow of your wings,

8. Jahve mi je svagda pred oèima; jer mi je zdesna, neæu posrnuti.

9. from the face of the impious who have afflicted me. My enemies have surrounded my soul.

9. Stog' mi se raduje srce i klièe duša, i tijelo mi spokojno poèiva.

10. They have concealed their fatness; their mouth has been speaking arrogantly.

10. Jer mi neæeš ostavit' dušu u Podzemlju ni dati da pravednik tvoj truleži ugleda.

11. They have cast me out, and now they have surrounded me. They have cast their eyes down to the earth.

11. Pokazat æeš mi stazu u život, puninu radosti pred licem svojim, sebi zdesna blaženstvo vjeèno.

12. They have taken me, like a lion ready for the prey, and like a young lion dwelling in hiding.

12.

13. Rise up, O Lord, arrive before him and displace him. Deliver my soul from the impious one: your spear from the enemies of your hand.

13.

14. Lord, divide them from the few of the earth in their life. Their gut has been filled from your hidden stores. They have been filled with sons, and they have bequeathed to their little ones the remainder.

14.

15. But as for me, I will appear before your sight in justice. I will be satisfied when your glory appears.
