求耶和華矜恤允其所祈

大衛的詩,交於伶長。用絲弦的樂器。

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。
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)
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。
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。(細拉)
當獻上公義的祭,又當倚靠耶和華。
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!
你使我心裡快樂,勝過那豐收五穀、新酒的人。
我必安然躺下睡覺,因為獨有你耶和華使我安然居住。

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.

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.

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

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 the Lord.

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

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

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

The Safety of the Faithful

To the [a]Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.

Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness!
You have relieved me in my distress;
[b]Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.

How long, O you sons of men,
Will you turn my glory to shame?
How long will you love worthlessness
And seek falsehood? Selah
But know that (A)the Lord has [c]set apart for Himself him who is godly;
The Lord will hear when I call to Him.

(B)Be[d] angry, and do not sin.
(C)Meditate within your heart on your bed, and be still. Selah
Offer (D)the sacrifices of righteousness,
And (E)put your trust in the Lord.

There are many who say,
“Who will show us any good?”
(F)Lord, lift up the light of Your countenance upon us.
You have put (G)gladness in my heart,
More than in the season that their grain and wine increased.
(H)I will both lie down in peace, and sleep;
(I)For You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.
