¹大卫的金诗。　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）

¹A Secret Treasure of David. Preserve me, O God, for I did trust in Thee.

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。”

²Thou hast said to Jehovah, `My Lord Thou [art];` My good [is] not for thine own sake;

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。

³For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the honourable, all my delight [is] in them.

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。

⁴Multiplied are their griefs, [Who] have hastened backward; I pour not out their libations of blood, Nor do I take up their names on my lips.

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。

⁵Jehovah [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, Thou — Thou dost uphold my lot.

⁶准绳量给我的是佳美之地，我的产业实在令我喜悦。

⁶Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Yea, a beauteous inheritance [is] for me.

⁷我要称颂那指导我的耶和华，我的心在夜间也劝戒我。

⁷I bless Jehovah who hath counselled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me.

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。

⁸I did place Jehovah before me continually, Because — at my right hand I am not moved.

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。

⁹Therefore hath my heart been glad, And my honour doth rejoice, Also my flesh dwelleth confidently:

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。

¹⁰For Thou dost not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor givest thy saintly one to see corruption.

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。

¹¹Thou causest me to know the path of life; Fulness of joys [is] with Thy presence, Pleasant things by Thy right hand for ever!
