< Psalms 16 >

1 A michtam of David. Keep me, O God, for in you 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, my happiness rests in you alone.
我對天主說:唯有您是我的上主,唯有您是我的幸福。
3 Those who are holy in the land, they, they alone, are the noble ones; all my delight is in them.’
對地上所有的聖族,我的心是如何地傾慕!
4 Those who choose other gods find endless sorrow. In their offerings of blood I will have no part nor take their name 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 my share and my portion, my fate is in your strong hands.
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 boundary lines of my life mark out delightful country, my heritage pleases me well.
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 praise the Lord for his counsel, which so stirs my heart in the night.
我要稱頌引導我的上主,我的心連夜間也向我督促。
8 I keep the Lord always in mind: with him at my hand, I can never be 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 So my heart is glad, there is joy inside me; and in safety of body I live.
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 give me up to Sheol nor let any who love you see the pit. (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 will show me the path that leads to life, to that fulness of joy which is in your presence, and the pleasures dispensed by your hand evermore.
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。
