Psalm 4

Psalm 4

1 Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness!

You have given me relief when I was in distress. 

Be gracious to me and hear my prayer!

顯我為義的神啊，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！

2 O men, how long shall my honor be turned into shame? 

How long will you love vain words and seek after lies? Selah 

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？ 

3 But know that the LORD has set apart the godly for himself; 

the LORD hears when I call to him. 

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。 

4 Be angry, and do not sin; ponder in your own hearts on your beds, and be silent. 

你們應當畏懼，不可犯罪； 

在床上的時候，要心裡思想，並要肅靜。 

5 Offer right sacrifices, and put your trust in the LORD. 

當獻上公義的祭，又當倚靠耶和華。 

6 There are many who say, “Who will show us some good? 

Lift up the light of your f ace upon us, O LORD!” 

有許多人說：誰能指示我們什麼好處？ 

耶和華啊，求你仰起臉來，光照我們。 

7 You have put more joy in my heart than they have when their grain and wine abound. 

你使我心裡快樂，勝過那豐收五穀新酒的人。 

8 In peace I will both lie down and sleep; 

for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety. 

我必安然躺下睡覺，因為獨有你─耶和華使我安然居住。
