唯有 神賜人喜樂平安

大衛的詩,交給詩班長,用絲弦的樂器伴奏。

我公義的 神啊(“我公義的 神啊”或譯:“使我為義的 神啊”)!

我呼求的時候,求你答應我。

我在困苦中,你曾使我舒暢。

求你恩待我,聽我的禱告。

尊貴的人啊!你們把我的榮耀變為羞辱,要到幾時呢?

你們喜愛虛妄,追求虛謊,要到幾時呢?(細拉)

你們要知道耶和華已經把虔誠人分別出來,歸他自己;

我向耶和華呼求的時候,他就垂聽。

你們生氣,卻不可犯罪;

在床上的時候,你們要在心裡思想,並且要安靜。(細拉)

你們應當獻公義的祭,

也要投靠耶和華。

有許多人說:“誰能指示我們得甚麼好處呢?”

耶和華啊!求你仰起你的臉,光照我們。

你使我心裡喜樂,

勝過人在豐收五穀新酒時的喜樂。

我必平平安安躺下睡覺,

因為只有你耶和華能使我安然居住。

Safety in Yahweh

For the music director; with stringed instruments. A psalm of David.[a]

When I call, answer me, O God of my righteousness.[b]
In trouble deliver me.[c]
Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.
O sons of man, how long will my honor[d] be a disgrace?
How long will you love vanity?
How long will you seek lies?[e] Selah
But know that Yahweh has set apart[f] for himself the faithful one.[g]
Yahweh hears when I call to him.
Be disturbed but do not sin.
Commune in your heart[h] on your bed and be silent. Selah
Offer correct sacrifices,[i]
and trust in[j] Yahweh.
Many are saying, “Who will show us something good?”
Lift up over[k] us the light of your face, O Yahweh.
You have put gladness in my heart
more than when[l] their grain and their wine abound.
In peace I will lie down and sleep at once,[m]
for you alone, O Yahweh, make me dwell safely.

Psalm 4

For the music leader. With stringed instruments. A psalm of David.

Answer me when I cry out, my righteous God!
    Set me free from my troubles!
        Have mercy on me!
        Listen to my prayer!

How long, you people,
    will my reputation be insulted?
How long will you continue
    to love what is worthless
    and go after lies? Selah
Know this: the Lord takes
    personal care of the faithful.
The Lord will hear me
    when I cry out to him.
So be afraid, and don’t sin!
    Think hard about it in your bed
    and weep over it! Selah
Bring righteous offerings,
    and trust the Lord!

Many people say,
    “We can’t find goodness anywhere.
    The light of your face has left us, Lord!”[a]
But you have filled my heart with more joy
    than when their wheat and wine are everywhere!
I will lie down and fall asleep in peace
    because you alone, Lord, let me live in safety.
