Psalm 16
The Message
16 1-2 Keep me safe, O God,
I’ve run for dear life to you.
I say to God, “Be my Lord!”
Without you, nothing makes sense.
3 And these God-chosen lives all around—
what splendid friends they make!
4 Don’t just go shopping for a god.
Gods are not for sale.
I swear I’ll never treat god-names
like brand-names.
5-6 My choice is you, God, first and only.
And now I find I’m your choice!
You set me up with a house and yard.
And then you made me your heir!
7-8 The wise counsel God gives when I’m awake
is confirmed by my sleeping heart.
Day and night I’ll stick with God;
I’ve got a good thing going and I’m not letting go.
9-10 I’m happy from the inside out,
and from the outside in, I’m firmly formed.
You canceled my ticket to hell—
that’s not my destination!
11 Now you’ve got my feet on the life path,
all radiant from the shining of your face.
Ever since you took my hand,
I’m on the right way.
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。
