诗篇 16
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
神是一切福樂之源
大衛的金詩。
16 神啊！求你保守我，因為我投靠你。（本節在《馬索拉文本》包括細字標題）
2 我（“我”有古抄本作“你”）曾對耶和華說：“你是我的主，
我的好處不在你以外。”
3 至於世上的聖民，
他們都是尊貴榮美的人，全是我所喜愛的。
4 追求別神的，他們的愁苦必定加多。
他們所奠的血祭，我不祭奠；
我的嘴唇也不提別神的名。
5 耶和華是我的產業，是我杯中的分；
我所得的業分，你親自為我持守。
6 準繩量給我的是佳美之地，
我的產業實在令我喜悅。
7 我要稱頌那指導我的耶和華，
我的心在夜間也勸戒我。
8 我常常把耶和華擺在我面前，
因他在我右邊，我必不會動搖。
9 為此我的心快樂，我的靈（“靈”或譯：“榮耀”或“肝”；與30:12，57:8，108:1同）歡欣，
我的肉身也必安然居住。
10 因為你必不把我的靈魂撇在陰間，
也必不容你的聖者見朽壞（“朽壞”或譯：“深淵”）。
11 你必把生命的路指示我，
在你面前有滿足的喜樂，
在你的右手中有永遠的福樂。
Psalm 16
Easy-to-Read Version
A miktam of David.
16 Protect me, God, because I depend on you.
2 Some of you[a] have said to the Lord,
“You are my Lord.
Every good thing I have comes from you.”
3 But you have also said about the gods[b] of this land,
“They are my powerful gods.
They are the ones who make me happy.”
4 But those who worship other gods will have many troubles.
I will not share in the gifts of blood they offer to their idols.
I will not even say their names.
5 Lord, you give me all that I need.
You support me.
You give me my share.
6 My share[c] is wonderful.
My inheritance[d] is very beautiful.
7 I praise the Lord because he taught me well.
Even at night he put his instructions deep inside my mind.[e]
8 I always remember that the Lord is with me.[f]
He is here, close by my side,
so nothing can defeat me.
9 So my heart and soul will be very happy.
Even my body will live in safety,
10 because you will not leave me in the place of death.
You will not let your faithful one rot in the grave.
11 You will teach me the right way to live.
Just being with you will bring complete happiness.
Being at your right side will make me happy forever.

- Psalm 16:2 Some of you Literally, “you” (singular). Most translations assume it should be “I,” giving a different meaning to verses 2 and 3, which are very difficult in the Hebrew text.
- Psalm 16:3 gods Literally, “holy ones.”
- Psalm 16:6 share Or “section of land.”
- Psalm 16:6 inheritance Here, this probably means the land each Israelite received.
- Psalm 16:7 mind Literally, “my kidneys.”
- Psalm 16:8 Literally, “I set the Lord before me always.”

Psalm 16
A prayer[a] of David.
1 Protect me, God, for the only safety I know is found in the moments I seek You.
2 I told You, Eternal One, “You are my Lord,
for the only good I know in this world is found in You alone.”
3 The beauty of faith-filled people encompasses me.
They are true, and my heart is thrilled beyond measure.
4 All the while the despair of many,
who abandoned Your goodness for the empty promises of false gods, increases day by day.
I refuse to pour out blood offerings,
to utter their names from my lips.
5 You, Eternal One, are my sustenance and my life-giving cup.
In that cup, You hold my future and my eternal riches.
6 My home is surrounded in beauty;
You have gifted me with abundance and a rich legacy.
7 I will bless the Eternal, whose wise teaching orchestrates my days
and centers my mind at night.
8 He is ever present with me;
at all times He goes before me.
I will not live in fear or abandon my calling
because He stands at my right hand.
9 This is a good life—my heart is glad, my soul is full of joy,
and my body is at rest.
Who could want for more?
10 You will not abandon me to experience death and the grave
or leave me to rot alone.
11 Instead, You direct me on the path that leads to a beautiful life.
As I walk with You, the pleasures are never-ending,
and I know true joy and contentment.
