< Psalms 16 >

1 Michtam of David. Keep me, O God; for I have taken refuge in Thee.
【上主是我的產業】天主,求您保祐我,因為我只投靠您。
2 I have said unto the LORD: 'Thou art my Lord; I have no good but in Thee';
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 holy that are in the earth, they are the excellent in whom is all my delight.
對地上所有的聖族,我的心是如何地傾慕!
4 Let the idols of them be multiplied that make suit unto another; their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take their names upon 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 O LORD, the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup, Thou maintainest my lot.
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 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly 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 bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel; yea, in the night seasons my reins instruct me.
我要稱頌引導我的上主,我的心連夜間也向我督促。
8 I have set the LORD always before me; surely He is at my right hand, I shall 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 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth; my flesh also dwelleth in safety;
因此我心高興,我靈喜歡,連我的肉軀也無憂安眠。
10 For Thou wilt not abandon my soul to the nether-world; neither wilt Thou suffer Thy godly one to see the pit. (Sheol h7585)
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 h7585)
11 Thou makest me to know the path of life; in Thy presence is fulness of joy, in Thy right hand bliss for evermore.
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。
