< Psalms 4 >
1 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm by David. Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. Give me relief from my distress. Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
琴にあはせて伶長にうたはしめたるダビデの歌 わが義をまもりたまふ神よ ねがはくはわが呼るときに答へたまへ わがなやみたる時なんぢ我をくつろがせたまへり ねがはくは我をあはれみ わが祈をききたまへ
2 You sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? Will you love vanity and seek after falsehood? (Selah)
人の子よなんぢらわが榮をはぢしめて幾何時をへんとするか なんぢらむなしき事をこのみ虚偽をしたひていくそのときを経んとするか (セラ)
3 But know that the LORD has set apart for himself him who is godly; The LORD will hear when I call to him.
然どなんぢら知れ ヱホバは神をうやまふ人をわかちて己につかしめたまひしことを われヱホバによばはらば聴たまはん
4 Stand in awe, and don’t sin. Search your own heart on your bed, and be still. (Selah)
なんぢら愼みをののきて罪ををかすなかれ 臥床にておのが心にかたりて黙せ (セラ)
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness. Put your trust in the LORD.
なんぢら義のそなへものを献てヱホバに依頼め
6 Many say, “Who will show us any good?” LORD, let the light of your face shine on us.
おほくの人はいふたれか嘉事をわれらに見するものあらんやと ヱホバよねがはくは聖顔の光をわれらの上にのぼらせたまへ
7 You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.
なんぢのわが心にあたへたまひし歓喜はかれらの穀物と洒との豊かなる時にまさりき
8 In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me live in safety.
われ安然にして臥またねぶらんヱホバよわれを獨にて坦然にをらしむるものは汝なり
