< Psalms 16 >
1 A Miktam of David. Preserve me, O God, for in You I take refuge.
大衛的金詩。 上帝啊,求你保佑我, 因為我投靠你。
2 I said to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from You I have no good thing.”
我的心哪,你曾對耶和華說:你是我的主; 我的好處不在你以外。
3 As for the saints in the land, they are the excellence in whom all my delight resides.
論到世上的聖民,他們又美又善, 是我最喜悅的。
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。
5 The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; You have made my lot secure.
耶和華是我的產業, 是我杯中的分; 我所得的,你為我持守。
6 The lines of my boundary have fallen in pleasant places; surely my inheritance is delightful.
用繩量給我的地界,坐落在佳美之處; 我的產業實在美好。
7 I will bless the LORD who counsels me; even at night my conscience instructs me.
我必稱頌那指教我的耶和華; 我的心腸在夜間也警戒我。
8 I have set the LORD always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
我將耶和華常擺在我面前, 因他在我右邊,我便不致搖動。
9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell securely.
因此,我的心歡喜,我的靈快樂; 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 )
因為你必不將我的靈魂撇在陰間, 也不叫你的聖者見朽壞。 (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。
