< 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 Overseer with Stringed Instruments. — A Psalm of David. In my calling answer Thou me, O God of my righteousness. In adversity Thou gavest enlargement to me; Favour me, 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)
Sons of men! till when [is] my glory for shame? Ye love a vain thing, ye seek a lie. (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
And know ye that Jehovah Hath separated a saintly one to Himself. Jehovah heareth in my calling 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)
'Tremble ye, and do not sin;' Say ye [thus] in your heart on your bed, And be ye silent. (Selah)
Sacrifice ye sacrifices of righteousness, And trust ye unto Jehovah.
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
Many are saying, 'Who doth show us good?' Lift on us the light of Thy face, O Jehovah,
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 given joy in my heart, From the time their corn and their wine Have been multiplied.
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 together I lie down and sleep, For Thou, O Jehovah, alone, In confidence dost cause me to dwell!
