1 Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
2 O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;
3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
5 The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
7 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct 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.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
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。
