< 诗篇 16 >
1 大卫的金诗。 神啊,求你保佑我, 因为我投靠你。
A michtam of David. Protect me, God, for I take refuge in you.
2 我的心哪,你曾对耶和华说:你是我的主; 我的好处不在你以外。
I say to Yahweh, “You are my Lord; my goodness is nothing apart from you.
3 论到世上的圣民,他们又美又善, 是我最喜悦的。
As for the holy people who are on the earth, they are noble people; all my delight is in them.
4 以别神代替耶和华的, 他们的愁苦必加增; 他们所浇奠的血我不献上; 我嘴唇也不提别神的名号。
Their troubles will be increased, those who seek out other gods. I will not pour out drink offerings of blood to their gods or lift up their names with my lips.
5 耶和华是我的产业, 是我杯中的分; 我所得的,你为我持守。
Yahweh, you are my chosen portion and my cup. You hold onto my lot.
6 用绳量给我的地界,坐落在佳美之处; 我的产业实在美好。
Measuring lines have been laid for me in pleasant places; surely a pleasing inheritance is mine.
7 我必称颂那指教我的耶和华; 我的心肠在夜间也警戒我。
I will bless Yahweh, who counsels me; even at night my mind instructs me.
8 我将耶和华常摆在我面前, 因他在我右边,我便不致摇动。
I set Yahweh before me at all times, so I will not be shaken from his right hand!
9 因此,我的心欢喜,我的灵快乐; 我的肉身也要安然居住。
Therefore my heart is glad; my glory is rejoicing. Surely I will live in security.
10 因为你必不将我的灵魂撇在阴间, 也不叫你的圣者见朽坏。 (Sheol )
For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol. You will not let your faithful one see the pit. (Sheol )
11 你必将生命的道路指示我。 在你面前有满足的喜乐; 在你右手中有永远的福乐。
You teach me the path of life; abundant joy resides in your presence; delights abide in your right hand forever!”
