< 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, God of my righteousness. Give me relief from my distress. Have mercy on me, and sh'ma ·hear obey· 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?
You sons of men, how long shall my kavod ·weighty glory· be turned into dishonor? Will you 'ahav ·affectionately love· vanity, and seek after falsehood? (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·
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 Adonai has set apart for himself him who is godly: Adonai will sh'ma ·hear obey· 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。
You can be angry, but don’t sin. Search your own heart on your bed, and be still. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·
5 奉上正義的祭獻,對上主全心依盼。
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness. Put your trust in Adonai.
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 say, “Who will show us any good?” Adonai, let the light of your face shine on us.
7 你賜給我心中的歡耀,遠勝過麥和酒的豐饒。
You 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 lay myself down and sleep, for you, Adonai alone, make me live in safety.
