Panalangin sa Gabi

O Dios na aking Tagapagtanggol, sagutin nʼyo po ako kapag akoʼy tumatawag sa inyo.
    Hindi ba noon tinulungan nʼyo ako nang akoʼy nasa kagipitan?
    Kaya ngayon, maawa kayo sa akin at pakinggan ang dalangin ko.

Kayong mga kumakalaban sa akin,
    kailan kayo titigil sa inyong paninirang puri sa akin?
    Hanggang kailan ninyo iibigin ang mga bagay na walang kabuluhan at magpapatuloy sa kasinungalingan?[a]
Dapat ninyong malaman na ibinukod ng Panginoon ang mga banal para sa kanyang sarili.
    Kaya kung tatawag ako sa Panginoon, pakikinggan niya ako.
Kapag kayoʼy nagagalit, huwag kayong magkakasala.
    Habang nakahiga kayo sa inyong higaan, tumahimik kayo at magbulay-bulay.
Magtiwala kayo sa Panginoon at mag-alay sa kanya ng tamang mga handog.

Marami ang nagsasabi,
    “Sino ang magpapala sa amin?”
    Panginoon, kaawaan nʼyo po kami!
Pinaliligaya nʼyo ako,
    higit pa kaysa sa mga taong sagana sa pagkain at inumin.
Kaya nakakatulog ako ng mapayapa,
    dahil binabantayan nʼyo ako, O Panginoon.

Psalm 4[a]

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

Answer me(A) when I call to you,
    my righteous God.
Give me relief from my distress;(B)
    have mercy(C) on me and hear my prayer.(D)

How long will you people turn my glory(E) into shame?(F)
    How long will you love delusions and seek false gods[b]?[c](G)
Know that the Lord has set apart his faithful servant(H) for himself;
    the Lord hears(I) when I call to him.

Tremble and[d] do not sin;(J)
    when you are on your beds,(K)
    search your hearts and be silent.
Offer the sacrifices of the righteous
    and trust in the Lord.(L)

Many, Lord, are asking, “Who will bring us prosperity?”
    Let the light of your face shine on us.(M)
Fill my heart(N) with joy(O)
    when their grain and new wine(P) abound.

In peace(Q) I will lie down and sleep,(R)
    for you alone, Lord,
    make me dwell in safety.(S)

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.
