< Psalms 16 >
1 A michtam of David. Protect me, God, for I take refuge in you.
【上主是我的產業】天主,求您保祐我,因為我只投靠您。
2 I say to Yahweh, “You are my Lord; my goodness is nothing apart from 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 holy people who are on the earth, they are noble people; 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 troubles will be increased, those who seek out other gods. I will not pour out drink offerings of blood to their gods or lift up their names with 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 Yahweh, you are my chosen portion and my cup. You hold onto 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 Measuring lines have been laid for me in pleasant places; surely a pleasing inheritance is mine.
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 Yahweh, who counsels me; even at night my mind instructs me.
我要稱頌引導我的上主,我的心連夜間也向我督促。
8 I set Yahweh before me at all times, so I will not be shaken from his right hand!
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; my glory is rejoicing. Surely I will live in security.
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 to Sheol. You will not let your faithful one see the pit. (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 teach me the path of life; abundant joy resides in your presence; delights abide in 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。
