< 詩篇 16 >

1 【上主是我的產業】天主,求您保祐我,因為我只投靠您。
God, protect me because I go to you to keep me safe!
2 我對天主說:唯有您是我的上主,唯有您是我的幸福。
I said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord; all the good things that I have come from you.”
3 對地上所有的聖族,我的心是如何地傾慕!
Your people who live in this land are wonderful; I delight to be with them.
4 歸依其他神的人,他們的苦楚必然累增;我決不向他們行奠血之祭,他們的名號,我口決不提起。
Those who choose to worship other gods will have many things that cause them to be sad. I will not join them when they make sacrifices [to their gods]; I will not even join them when they speak [MTY] the names of their gods.
5 上主,您是我的產業,您是我的杯爵;我得到您的基業,有您為我守著。
Yahweh, you are the one whom I have chosen, and you give me great blessings. You protect me and control what happens to me.
6 您恩賜給我在優雅的地區,我的產業實在令我滿心歡喜。
Yahweh has given me a wonderful place in which to live; I am delighted with all the things that he has given me [MET].
7 我要稱頌引導我的上主,我的心連夜間也向我督促。
I will praise Yahweh, the one who teaches/disciplines me; even at night [he] you put in my mind what is right for me to do.
8 我常將上主置於我的眼前,我決不動搖,因上主在我身邊。
I know that Yahweh is always with me. He is beside me; so nothing will (perturb me/cause me to be worried).
9 因此我心高興,我靈喜歡,連我的肉軀也無憂安眠。
Therefore I am glad and I [MTY, DOU] rejoice; I can rest securely
10 因為您絕不會將我遺棄在陰府,也絕不讓您的聖者見到腐朽。 (Sheol h7585)
because you, Yahweh, will not allow my soul/spirit to remain in the place where the dead people are; you will not allow me, your godly one, to stay there. (Sheol h7585)
11 請將您生命的道路指示給我,唯有在您面前才有圓滿的喜悅,永遠在您身邊才是我的福樂。
You will show me the road that leads to [receiving eternal] life, and you will make me joyful when I am with you. I will have pleasure forever when I am (at your right hand/seated next to you).
