詩篇 16
1 大衛的金詩。 上帝啊，求你保佑我， 因為我投靠你。
A psalm (miktam) of David. Take care of me, Lord, for I come to you for protection.
2 我的心哪，你曾對耶和華說：你是我的主； 我的好處不在你以外。
I tell the Lord, “Apart from you Lord, I don't have anything that's good.”
3 論到世上的聖民，他們又美又善， 是我最喜悅的。
As for the holy people in the land, they are the ones who are truly great. I appreciate them.
4 以別神代替耶和華的， 他們的愁苦必加增； 他們所澆奠的血我不獻上； 我嘴唇也不提別神的名號。
Those who run after other gods will face a lot of trouble. I will not participate in their offerings of blood, I will not even speak the names of their gods.
5 耶和華是我的產業， 是我杯中的分； 我所得的，你為我持守。
Lord, you alone are all I have; you give me what I need; you safeguard my future.
6 用繩量給我的地界，坐落在佳美之處； 我的產業實在美好。
The land divisions have worked out in my favor—my property is wonderful!
7 我必稱頌那指教我的耶和華； 我的心腸在夜間也警戒我。
I will bless the Lord who gives me good advice; even at night my conscience tells me what is right.
8 我將耶和華常擺在我面前， 因他在我右邊，我便不致搖動。
I have always kept the Lord in front of me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.
9 因此，我的心歡喜，我的靈快樂； 我的肉身也要安然居住。
That's why I'm so happy! That's why I am full of joy! That's why my body lives in hope!
For you will not abandon me in the grave, nor will you allow your Holy One to experience decay. (Sheol h7585)
11 你必將生命的道路指示我。 在你面前有滿足的喜樂； 在你右手中有永遠的福樂。
You have shown me the path of life, filling me with joy with your presence and the delight of living with you forever.
