詩篇 16
1 大衛的金詩。 上帝啊，求你保佑我， 因為我投靠你。
A michtam of David. Protect me, God, for I take refuge in you.
2 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。
I say to Yahweh, “You are my Lord; my goodness is nothing apart from you.
3 論到世上的聖民，他們又美又善， 是我最喜悅的。
As for the holy people who are on the earth, they are noble people; all my delight is in them.
4 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。
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.
5 耶和華是我的產業， 是我杯中的分； 我所得的，你為我持守。
Yahweh, you are my chosen portion and my cup. You hold onto my lot.
6 用繩量給我的地界，坐落在佳美之處； 我的產業實在美好。
Measuring lines have been laid for me in pleasant places; surely a pleasing inheritance is mine.
7 我必稱頌那指教我的耶和華； 我的心腸在夜間也警戒我。
I will bless Yahweh, who counsels me; even at night my mind instructs me.
8 我將耶和華常擺在我面前， 因他在我右邊，我便不致搖動。
I set Yahweh before me at all times, so I will not be shaken from his right hand!
9 因此，我的心歡喜，我的靈快樂； 我的肉身也要安然居住。
Therefore my heart is glad; my glory is rejoicing. Surely I will live in security.
For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol. You will not let your faithful one see the pit. (Sheol h7585)
11 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。
You teach me the path of life; abundant joy resides in your presence; delights abide in your right hand forever!”
