< Psalms 16 >
1 A MIKTAM OF DAVID. Preserve me, O God, for I trusted in You.
【上主是我的產業】天主,求您保祐我,因為我只投靠您。
2 You have said to YHWH, “You [are] my Lord”; My goodness [is] not above You;
我對天主說:唯有您是我的上主,唯有您是我的幸福。
3 For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the honorable, all my delight [is] in them.
對地上所有的聖族,我的心是如何地傾慕!
4 Their griefs are multiplied, [who] have hurried backward; I do not pour out their drink-offerings of blood, Nor do I take up 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 YHWH [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, You uphold 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 Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Indeed, a beautiful inheritance [is] for me.
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 bless YHWH who has counseled me; Also [in] the nights 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 placed YHWH before me continually, Because [He is] at my right hand I am not 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 has been glad, And my glory rejoices, Also my flesh dwells confidently:
因此我心高興,我靈喜歡,連我的肉軀也無憂安眠。
10 For You do not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor give your Holy One to see corruption. (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 cause me to know the path of life; In Your presence [is] fullness of joys, Pleasant things [are] by Your right hand forever!
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。
