For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm by David.

1 Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness.

Give me relief from my distress.

Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.

2 You sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor?

Will you love vanity and seek after falsehood? Selah.

3 But know that Yahweh has set apart for himself him who is godly;

Yahweh will hear when I call to him.

4 Stand in awe, and don’t sin.

Search your own heart on your bed, and be still. Selah.

5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness.

Put your trust in Yahweh.

6 Many say, "Who will show us any good?"

Yahweh, let the light of your face shine on us.

7 You have put gladness in my heart,

more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.

8 In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep,

for you alone, Yahweh, make me live in safety.

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。
