詩篇 4
1 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
To the Chief Musician: with stringed instruments. A Melody of David. When I cry, answer me, O mine own righteous God, In a strait place, thou hast made room for me, Show me favour, and hear my prayer.
2 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經んとするか (セラ)
Ye sons of the great! how long, turning my glory to contempt, will ye love emptiness, will ye seek falsehood? (Selah)
3 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聽たまはん
Know ye, then, that Yahweh hath set apart the man of lovingkindness for himself: Yahweh, will hear, when I cry to him.
4 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默せ (セラ)
Be deeply moved, but do not sin, —Ponder in your own heart upon your bed, and be silent. (Selah)
5 なんぢら義のそなへものを献てヱホバに依賴め
Sacrifice the sacrifices of righteousness; and put your trust in Yahweh.
6 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
Multitudes, are saying, Who will show us prosperity? Lift thou upon us the light of thy countenance, O Yahweh.
7 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酒との豊かなる時にまさりき
Thou hast put gladness in my heart, —beyond the season when, their corn and their new wine, have increased.
8 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
In peace, will I lay me down and at once sleep; for, thou, Yahweh alone, wilt cause me, in security, to dwell.
