< Psalms 16 >
1 A Poem by David. Preserve me, God, for I take refuge in you.
大卫的金诗。 神啊,求你保佑我, 因为我投靠你。
2 My soul, you have said to the LORD, “You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing.”
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。
3 As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.
论到世上的圣民,他们又美又善, 是我最喜悦的。
4 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.
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。
5 The LORD assigned my portion and my cup. You made my lot secure.
耶和华是我的产业, 是我杯中的分; 我所得的,你为我持守。
6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good inheritance.
用绳量给我的地界,坐落在佳美之处; 我的产业实在美好。
7 I will bless the LORD, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
我必称颂那指教我的耶和华; 我的心肠在夜间也警戒我。
8 I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
我将耶和华常摆在我面前, 因他在我右边,我便不致摇动。
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.
因此,我的心欢喜,我的灵快乐; 我的肉身也要安然居住。
10 For you will not leave my soul in Sheol (Sheol ), neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption.
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 )
11 You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.
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。
