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。
To the Chief Musician: with stringed instruments. A Melody of David. When I cry, answer me, O mine own righteous God, In a strait place, thou hast made room for me, Show me favour, 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？
Ye sons of the great! how long, turning my glory to contempt, will ye love emptiness, will ye seek 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。
Know ye, then, that Yahweh hath set apart the man of lovingkindness for himself: Yahweh, will hear, when I cry 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。
Be deeply moved, but do not sin, —Ponder in your own heart upon your bed, and be silent. (Selah)
5 奉上正義的祭獻，對上主全心依盼。
Sacrifice the sacrifices of righteousness; and put your trust in Yahweh.
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。
Multitudes, are saying, Who will show us prosperity? Lift thou upon us the light of thy countenance, O Yahweh.
7 你賜給我心中的歡耀，遠勝過麥和酒的豐饒。
Thou hast put gladness in my heart, —beyond the season when, their corn and their new wine, have 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, will I lay me down and at once sleep; for, thou, Yahweh alone, wilt cause me, in security, to dwell.
