< 詩篇 4 >
1 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!
Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness. Thou have enlarged me in distress. Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
2 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)
O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? Will ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? (Selah)
3 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。
But know that Jehovah has set apart for himself him who is holy. Jehovah will hear when I call to him.
4 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)
Stand in awe, and sin not. Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in Jehovah.
6 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。
Many there are who say, Who will show us good? Jehovah, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
Thou have put gladness in my heart more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.
8 我必安然躺下睡覺, 因為獨有你-耶和華使我安然居住。
In peace I will both lie down and sleep, for thou, Jehovah, alone make me dwell in safety.
