Psalms 4

To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm of David.

1 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.*4.1 chief…: or, overseer*4.1 have…: or, be gracious unto me

2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.

3 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.

4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

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

6 There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.

8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.

唯有 神赐人喜乐平安

大卫的诗，交给诗班长，用丝弦的乐器伴奏。 1 我公义的　神啊*"我公义的　神啊"或译："使我为义的　神啊"！

我呼求的时候，求你答应我。

我在困苦中，你曾使我舒畅。

求你恩待我，听我的祷告。

2 尊贵的人啊！你们把我的荣耀变为羞辱，要到几时呢？

你们喜爱虚妄，追求虚谎，要到几时呢？*细拉

3 你们要知道耶和华已经把虔诚人分别出来，归他自己；

我向耶和华呼求的时候，他就垂听。

4 你们生气，却不可犯罪；

在床上的时候，你们要在心里思想，并且要安静。*细拉

5 你们应当献公义的祭，

也要投靠耶和华。

6 有许多人说："谁能指示我们得甚么好处呢？"

耶和华啊！求你仰起你的脸，光照我们。

7 你使我心里喜乐，

胜过人在丰收五谷新酒时的喜乐。

8 我必平平安安躺下睡觉，

因为只有你耶和华能使我安然居住。
