The Hope of the Faithful, and the Messiah’s Victory
A ⚓Michtam of David.
1Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust.
2O my soul, you have said to the Lord,
“You are my Lord,
⚓My goodness is nothing apart from You.”
3As for the saints who are on the earth,
“They are the excellent ones, in ⚓whom is all my delight.”
4Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god;
Their drink offerings of ⚓blood I will not offer,
⚓Nor take up their names on my lips.
5O Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup;
You maintain my lot.
6The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places;
Yes, I have a good inheritance.
7I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel;
My heart also instructs me in the night seasons.
8⚓I have set the Lord always before me;
Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.
9Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices;
My flesh also will rest in hope.
10⚓For You will not leave my soul in Sheol,
Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.
11You will show me the ⚓path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

大卫的金诗。为信心稳固而祈祷
1上帝啊,求你保佑我,
因为我投靠你。
2我⚓曾对耶和华说:“你是我的主,
我的福气惟独从你而来。”
3论到世上的圣民,他们是尊贵的人,
是我最喜悦的。
4追逐⚓别神的,
他们的愁苦必增加;
他们所浇奠的血我不献上,
我嘴唇也不提别神的名号。
5耶和华是我的产业,是我杯中的福分;
我所得的,你为我持守。
6用绳量给我的地界,坐落在佳美之处;
我的产业实在美好。
7我要称颂那指引我的耶和华,
在夜间我的心肠也指教我。
8我让耶和华常在我面前,
因他在我右边,我就不致动摇。
9因此,我的心欢喜,我的灵⚓快乐;
我的肉身也要安然居住。
10因为你必不将我的灵魂⚓撇在阴间,
也不让你的圣者见地府⚓。
11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。
