< Psalms 16 >
1 A Miktam of David. Preserve me, O God, for in You I take refuge.
大卫的金诗。 神啊,求你保佑我, 因为我投靠你。
2 I 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 in the land, they are the excellence in whom all my delight resides.
论到世上的圣民,他们又美又善, 是我最喜悦的。
4 Sorrows will multiply to those who chase other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood, or speak their names with 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 is my chosen portion and my cup; You have 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 of my boundary have fallen in pleasant places; surely my inheritance is delightful.
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 counsels me; even at night my conscience instructs me.
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 will not be shaken.
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 also will dwell securely.
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 abandon my soul to Sheol, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay. (Sheol )
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 have made known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand.
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。
