< Psalms 16 >
1 Michtam. Of David. Keep me safe, O God: for in you I have put my faith.
【上主是我的產業】天主,求您保祐我,因為我只投靠您。
2 O my soul, you have said to the Lord, You are my Lord: I have no good but you.
我對天主說:唯有您是我的上主,唯有您是我的幸福。
3 As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the noble in whom is all my delight.
對地上所有的聖族,我的心是如何地傾慕!
4 Their sorrows will be increased who go after another god: I will not take drink offerings from their hands, or take their names on my lips.
歸依其他神的人,他們的苦楚必然累增;我決不向他們行奠血之祭,他們的名號,我口決不提起。
5 The Lord is my heritage and the wine of my cup; you are the supporter of my right.
上主,您是我的產業,您是我的杯爵;我得到您的基業,有您為我守著。
6 Fair are the places marked out for me; I have a noble heritage.
您恩賜給我在優雅的地區,我的產業實在令我滿心歡喜。
7 I will give praise to the Lord who has been my guide; knowledge comes to me from my thoughts in the night.
我要稱頌引導我的上主,我的心連夜間也向我督促。
8 I have put the Lord before me at all times; because he is at my right hand, I will not be moved.
我常將上主置於我的眼前,我決不動搖,因上主在我身邊。
9 Because of this my heart is glad, and my glory is full of joy: while my flesh takes its rest in hope.
因此我心高興,我靈喜歡,連我的肉軀也無憂安眠。
10 For you will not let my soul be prisoned in the underworld; you will not let your loved one see the place of death. (Sheol )
因為您絕不會將我遺棄在陰府,也絕不讓您的聖者見到腐朽。 (Sheol )
11 You will make clear to me the way of life; where you are joy is complete; in your right hand there are pleasures for ever and ever.
請將您生命的道路指示給我,唯有在您面前才有圓滿的喜悅,永遠在您身邊才是我的福樂。
