< Psalms 16 >
1 A michtam of David. Keep me, O God, for in you I take refuge.
大卫的金诗。 神啊,求你保佑我, 因为我投靠你。
2 I said to the Lord, ‘You are my Lord, my happiness rests in you alone.
我的心哪,你曾对耶和华说:你是我的主; 我的好处不在你以外。
3 Those who are holy in the land, they, they alone, are the noble ones; all my delight is in them.’
论到世上的圣民,他们又美又善, 是我最喜悦的。
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.
以别神代替耶和华的, 他们的愁苦必加增; 他们所浇奠的血我不献上; 我嘴唇也不提别神的名号。
5 The Lord is my share and my portion, my fate is in your strong hands.
耶和华是我的产业, 是我杯中的分; 我所得的,你为我持守。
6 The boundary lines of my life mark out delightful country, my heritage pleases me well.
用绳量给我的地界,坐落在佳美之处; 我的产业实在美好。
7 I praise the Lord for his counsel, which so stirs my heart in the night.
我必称颂那指教我的耶和华; 我的心肠在夜间也警戒我。
8 I keep the Lord always in mind: with him at my hand, I can never be moved.
我将耶和华常摆在我面前, 因他在我右边,我便不致摇动。
9 So my heart is glad, there is joy inside me; and in safety of body I live.
因此,我的心欢喜,我的灵快乐; 我的肉身也要安然居住。
10 For you will not give me up to Sheol nor let any who love you see the pit. (Sheol )
因为你必不将我的灵魂撇在阴间, 也不叫你的圣者见朽坏。 (Sheol )
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.
你必将生命的道路指示我。 在你面前有满足的喜乐; 在你右手中有永远的福乐。
