1 Michtam. Of David. Keep me safe, O God: for in you I have put my faith.
2 O my soul, you have said to the Lord, You are my Lord: I have no good but you.
3 As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the noble in whom is all my delight.
4 Their sorrows will be increased who go after another god: I will not take drink offerings from their hands, or take their names on my lips.
5 The Lord is my heritage and the wine of my cup; you are the supporter of my right.
6 Fair are the places marked out for me; I have a noble heritage.
7 I will give praise to the Lord who has been my guide; knowledge comes to me from my thoughts in the night.
8 I have put the Lord before me at all times; because he is at my right hand, I will not be moved.
9 Because of this my heart is glad, and my glory is full of joy: while my flesh takes its rest in hope.
10 For you will not let my soul be prisoned in the underworld; you will not let your loved one see the place of death.
11 You will make clear to me the way of life; where you are joy is complete; in your right hand there are pleasures for ever and ever.
1 神啊! 求你保守我, 因为我投靠你。(本节在《马索拉抄本》包括细字标题)
2 我("我"有古抄本作"你")曾对耶和华说: "你是我的主, 我的好处不在你以外。"
3 至于世上的圣民, 他们都是尊贵荣美的人, 全是我所喜爱的。
4 追求别神的, 他们的愁苦必定加多。他们所奠的血祭, 我不祭奠; 我的嘴唇也不提别神的名。
5 耶和华是我的产业, 是我杯中的分; 我所得的业分, 你亲自为我持守。
6 准绳量给我的是佳美之地, 我的产业实在令我喜悦。
7 我要称颂那指导我的耶和华, 我的心在夜间也劝戒我。
8 我常常把耶和华摆在我面前, 因他在我右边, 我必不会动摇。
9 为此我的心快乐, 我的灵("灵"或译: "荣耀"或"肝"; 与30:12, 57:8, 108:1同)欢欣, 我的肉身也必安然居住。
10 因为你必不把我的灵魂撇在阴间, 也必不容你的圣者见朽坏。
11 你必把生命的路指示我, 在你面前有满足的喜乐, 在你的右手中有永远的福乐。
