< 詩篇 4 >
1 大衛的詩,交與伶長。用絲弦的樂器。 顯我為義的上帝啊, 我呼籲的時候,求你應允我! 我在困苦中,你曾使我寬廣; 現在求你憐恤我,聽我的禱告!
Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: you have enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
2 你們這上流人哪,你們將我的尊榮變為羞辱要到幾時呢? 你們喜愛虛妄,尋找虛假,要到幾時呢? (細拉)
O all of you sons of men, how long will all of you turn my glory into shame? how long will all of you love vanity, and seek after leasing? (Selah)
3 你們要知道,耶和華已經分別虔誠人歸他自己; 我求告耶和華,他必聽我。
But know that the LORD has set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.
4 你們應當畏懼,不可犯罪; 在床上的時候,要心裏思想,並要肅靜。 (細拉)
Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
6 有許多人說:誰能指示我們甚麼好處? 耶和華啊,求你仰起臉來,光照我們。
There be many that say, Who will show us any good? LORD, lift you up the light of your countenance upon us.
You have put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.
8 我必安然躺下睡覺, 因為獨有你-耶和華使我安然居住。
I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for you, LORD, only make me dwell in safety.
