信靠之福

大卫的诗。

16 上帝啊!我投靠你,
求你保护我。
我对耶和华说:“你是我的主,
我美好的一切都从你而来。”
世上敬畏你的人极其尊贵,
是我所喜爱的。
追随假神的人,其愁苦必有增无减。
我必不向他们的假神献上血祭,
口中也不提假神的名号。
耶和华啊,你是我的一切,
你赐我一切福分,
你掌管我的一切。
你赐我佳美之地,
我的产业何其美!
我要称颂赐我教诲的耶和华,
我的良心也在夜间提醒我。
我常以耶和华为念,
祂在我右边,我必不动摇。
因此,我的心欢喜,
我的灵快乐,
我的身体也安然无恙。
10 你不会把我的灵魂撇在阴间,
也不会让你的圣者身体朽坏。
11 你把生命之路指示我,
你右手有永远的福乐,
我在你面前充满喜乐。

David wrote this prayer.

God will help me

16 Please keep me safe, God,
    because I come to you for help.
I have said to the Lord,
    ‘You are my Lord.
All the good things that I have in my life
    are gifts from you.’
When I think about your own people who live in this land,
    it makes me happy!
    They are truly great people!
But many troubles will come
    to people who choose to worship other gods.
I will not join with them
    to offer gifts of blood to their gods.
I will never use the names of their gods
    to make promises.
You, Lord, are all that I need.
What you give to me is enough,
    for me and for my descendants.
Yes, you have given to me a good way of life.
Your gifts are better than good fields
    or valuable land.
I will praise the Lord,
    who is my guide through life.
In the dark nights,
    you help me to learn what is right.
I will always trust the Lord to be with me.
He is very near to me,
    so I will not be upset.
I am truly happy and I thank God.
I know that my life is safe with God.
10 You, Lord, will not leave me
    in the deep hole of death.
As one who belongs to you,
    you will not leave my body to spoil in the grave.
11 You will lead me along the path of life.
Because you are with me,
    I am very happy.
I know that I will be with you for ever,
    and that makes me very happy!

Psalm 16

A miktam[a] of David.

Keep me safe,(A) my God,
    for in you I take refuge.(B)

I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;(C)
    apart from you I have no good thing.”(D)
I say of the holy people(E) who are in the land,(F)
    “They are the noble ones in whom is all my delight.”
Those who run after other gods(G) will suffer(H) more and more.
    I will not pour out libations of blood to such gods
    or take up their names(I) on my lips.

Lord, you alone are my portion(J) and my cup;(K)
    you make my lot(L) secure.
The boundary lines(M) have fallen for me in pleasant places;
    surely I have a delightful inheritance.(N)
I will praise the Lord, who counsels me;(O)
    even at night(P) my heart instructs me.
I keep my eyes always on the Lord.
    With him at my right hand,(Q) I will not be shaken.(R)

Therefore my heart is glad(S) and my tongue rejoices;
    my body also will rest secure,(T)
10 because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead,(U)
    nor will you let your faithful[b] one(V) see decay.(W)
11 You make known to me the path of life;(X)
    you will fill me with joy in your presence,(Y)
    with eternal pleasures(Z) at your right hand.(AA)
