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.
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 How long will you people cause me to be disgraced instead of honoring me [RHQ]? You [people] love to falsely accuse me.
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 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 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 Also, offer to Yahweh the proper sacrifices, and continue trusting in him.
當獻上公義的祭， 又當倚靠耶和華。
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：誰能指示我們甚麼好處？ 耶和華啊，求你仰起臉來，光照我們。
7 You have made me very happy; I am happier than people who have harvested a great amount of grain and grapes.
你使我心裏快樂， 勝過那豐收五穀新酒的人。
8 I can lie down [at night] and sleep soundly because [I know that] you, Yahweh, will keep me safe.”
我必安然躺下睡覺， 因為獨有你－耶和華使我安然居住。
