< 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。
A Poem by David. Preserve me, God, for I take refuge in you.
2 我對天主說:唯有您是我的上主,唯有您是我的幸福。
My soul, you have said to the LORD, “You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing.”
As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.
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。
Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts to another god. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips.
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。
The LORD assigned my portion and my cup. You made my lot secure.
6 您恩賜給我在優雅的地區,我的產業實在令我滿心歡喜。
The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good inheritance.
7 我要稱頌引導我的上主,我的心連夜間也向我督促。
I will bless the LORD, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
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 have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9 因此我心高興,我靈喜歡,連我的肉軀也無憂安眠。
Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.
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 )
For you will not leave my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption. (Sheol )
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 path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.
