詩篇 4
1 詩歌，交與樂官，和以絃樂。 我公義的天主！我一呼求你，你就應允了我，我在困苦中，你曾舒暢了我。求你憐憫我，求你俯聽我禱。
Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness. Thou have enlarged me in distress. Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
2 顯貴的人們，你們的心要硬到幾時？你們愛慕虛幻，追求虛偽究竟為何？
O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? Will ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? (Selah)
3 你們當知：上主特愛對祂虔敬的人，當我呼求上主的時候，祂一定俯允。
But know that Jehovah has set apart for himself him who is holy. Jehovah will hear when I call to him.
4 你們應戰慄，不可一再作惡，在床上檢討，且要捫心思過。
Stand in awe, and sin not. Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
5 奉上正義的祭獻，對上主全心依盼。
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in Jehovah.
6 有許多人說：誰能使我們幸福亨通？上主，望你向我們顯你光榮的儀容。
Many there are who say, Who will show us good? Jehovah, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
7 你賜給我心中的歡耀，遠勝過麥和酒的豐饒。
Thou have put gladness in my heart more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.
8 在平安中我一躺下即刻入睡，上主，唯有有你能使我安居順遂。
In peace I will both lie down and sleep, for thou, Jehovah, alone make me dwell in safety.
