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。

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.
