信靠之福

大衛的詩。

16 上帝啊!我投靠你,
求你保護我。
我對耶和華說:「你是我的主,
我美好的一切都從你而來。」
世上敬畏你的人極其尊貴,
是我所喜愛的。
追隨假神的人,其愁苦必有增無減。
我必不向他們的假神獻上血祭,
口中也不提假神的名號。
耶和華啊,你是我的一切,
你賜我一切福分,
你掌管我的一切。
你賜我佳美之地,
我的產業何其美!
我要稱頌賜我教誨的耶和華,
我的良心也在夜間提醒我。
我常以耶和華為念,
祂在我右邊,我必不動搖。
因此,我的心歡喜,
我的靈快樂,
我的身體也安然無恙。
10 你不會把我的靈魂撇在陰間,
也不會讓你的聖者身體朽壞。
11 你把生命之路指示我,
你右手有永遠的福樂,
我在你面前充滿喜樂。

The Lord, the Psalmist’s Portion in Life and Salvation in Death.

A [a]Mikhtam of David.

16 (A)Protect me, God, for (B)I take refuge in You.
[b]I said to the Lord, “You are [c]my Lord;
I (C)have nothing good besides You.”
As for the [d](D)saints who are on the earth,
[e]They are the majestic ones; (E)all my delight is in them.
[f]The (F)pains of those who have acquired another god will be multiplied;
I will not pour out their drink offerings of (G)blood,
Nor will I (H)take their names upon my lips.

The Lord is the (I)portion of my inheritance and my (J)cup;
You support my (K)lot.
The measuring (L)lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
Indeed, my inheritance is (M)beautiful to me.

I will bless the Lord who has (N)advised me;
Indeed, my [g](O)mind instructs me in the night.
(P)I have (Q)set the Lord continually before me;
Because He is (R)at my right hand, (S)I will not be shaken.
Therefore (T)my heart is glad and (U)my glory rejoices;
My flesh also will (V)dwell securely.
10 For You (W)will not abandon my soul to [h]Sheol;
You will not [i](X)allow Your [j]Holy One to [k]undergo decay.
11 You will make known to me (Y)the way of life;
In (Z)Your presence is fullness of joy;
In Your right hand there are (AA)pleasures forever.
