< 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·
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.
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.
