< Psalms 4 >

1 For the Leader; with string-music. A Psalm of David. Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness, Thou who didst set me free when I was in distress; be gracious unto me, and hear my prayer.
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!
2 O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be put to shame, in that ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? (Selah)
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)
3 But know that the LORD hath set apart the godly man as His own; the LORD will hear when I call unto Him.
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。
4 Tremble, and sin not; commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
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)
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
當獻上公義的祭, 又當倚靠耶和華。
6 Many there are that say: 'Oh that we could see some good!' LORD, lift Thou up the light of Thy countenance upon us.
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。
7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than when their corn and their wine increase.
你使我心裏快樂, 勝過那豐收五穀新酒的人。
8 In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; for Thou, LORD, makest me dwell alone in safety.
我必安然躺下睡覺, 因為獨有你-耶和華使我安然居住。
