< 詩篇 4 >

1 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。
[For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm by David.] Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. You set me free in my distress. Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.
2 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?
You sons of man, how long will you shame my honor, love what is worthless, chase after a lie? (Selah)
3 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。
But know that the LORD works wonders for his godly one; the LORD will hear when I call to him.
4 你們應戰慄,不可一再作惡,在床上檢討,且要捫心思過。
Be angry, but do not sin. Ponder in your heart, but be at rest on your bed. (Selah)
5 奉上正義的祭獻,對上主全心依盼。
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
6 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。
Many say, "Who will show us any good?" LORD, lift up the light of your face upon us.
7 你賜給我心中的歡耀,遠勝過麥和酒的豐饒。
You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and wine and oil abound.
8 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。
In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me live in safety.
