< Psalms 16 >
1 A MIKTAM OF DAVID. Preserve me, O God, for I trusted in You.
大衛的金詩。 上帝啊,求你保佑我, 因為我投靠你。
2 You have said to YHWH, “You [are] my Lord”; My goodness [is] not above You;
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 For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the honorable, all my delight [is] in them.
論到世上的聖民,他們又美又善, 是我最喜悅的。
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.
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 YHWH [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, You uphold my lot.
耶和華是我的產業, 是我杯中的分; 我所得的,你為我持守。
6 Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Indeed, a beautiful inheritance [is] for me.
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 bless YHWH who has counseled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct 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 placed YHWH before me continually, Because [He is] at my right hand I am not moved.
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 has been glad, And my glory rejoices, Also my flesh dwells confidently:
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 do not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor give your Holy One to see corruption. (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 cause me to know the path of life; In Your presence [is] fullness of joys, Pleasant things [are] by Your right hand forever!
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。
