Psalms 4
1 God, answer me when I pray to you. You are the one who vindicates me; Rescue me from things that distress me. Act mercifully toward me, and listen to me while I pray.
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。
2 How long will you people cause me to be disgraced instead of honoring me [RHQ]? You [people] love to falsely accuse me.
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？
3 All those who are loyal to Yahweh, he has chosen them to belong to him. Yahweh listens to me when I pray to him.
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。
4 When you people get angry, do not [allow your anger to control you and cause you to] sin. While you lie on your bed, silently examine what you are thinking.
你們應戰慄，不可一再作惡，在床上檢討，且要捫心思過。
5 Also, offer to Yahweh the proper sacrifices, and continue trusting in him.
奉上正義的祭獻，對上主全心依盼。
6 Some people ask, “Who will allow good things to happen to us?” [But I say], “Yahweh, continue to act kindly toward us.
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。
7 You have made me very happy; I am happier than people who have harvested a great amount of grain and grapes.
你賜給我心中的歡耀，遠勝過麥和酒的豐饒。
8 I can lie down [at night] and sleep soundly because [I know that] you, Yahweh, will keep me safe.”
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。
