Psalms 16
1 [A Poem by David.] Preserve me, God, for in you do I take refuge.
【上主是我的產業】天主，求您保祐我，因為我只投靠您。
2 I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing."
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 ones who are in the land, they are the excellent ones 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 multiply who pay a dowry for another. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor 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 the portion of my inheritance and my cup. You made my lot secure.
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 have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, beautiful is my inheritance.
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 has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
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 never be upended.
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 tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.
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 abandon my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay. (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 You make known to me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.
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。
