求耶和华矜恤允其所祈

大卫的诗,交于伶长。用丝弦的乐器。

显我为义的神啊,我呼吁的时候,求你应允我。我在困苦中,你曾使我宽广;现在求你怜恤我,听我的祷告。
你们这上流人哪,你们将我的尊荣变为羞辱,要到几时呢?你们喜爱虚妄,寻找虚假,要到几时呢?(细拉)
你们要知道,耶和华已经分别虔诚人归他自己,我求告耶和华,他必听我。
你们应当畏惧,不可犯罪;在床上的时候要心里思想,并要肃静。(细拉)
当献上公义的祭,又当倚靠耶和华。
有许多人说:“谁能指示我们什么好处?”耶和华啊,求你仰起脸来,光照我们!
你使我心里快乐,胜过那丰收五谷、新酒的人。
我必安然躺下睡觉,因为独有你耶和华使我安然居住。

(4:1) Au chef des chantres. Avec instruments à cordes. Psaume de David. (4:2) Quand je crie, réponds-moi, Dieu de ma justice! Quand je suis dans la détresse, sauve-moi! Aie pitié de moi, écoute ma prière!

(4:3) Fils des hommes, jusques à quand ma gloire sera-t-elle outragée? Jusques à quand aimerez-vous la vanité, Chercherez-vous le mensonge? -Pause.

(4:4) Sachez que l'Éternel s'est choisi un homme pieux; L'Éternel entend, quand je crie à lui.

(4:5) Tremblez, et ne péchez point; Parlez en vos coeurs sur votre couche, puis taisez-vous. -Pause.

(4:6) Offrez des sacrifices de justice, Et confiez-vous à l'Éternel.

(4:7) Plusieurs disent: Qui nous fera voir le bonheur? Fais lever sur nous la lumière de ta face, ô Éternel!

(4:8) Tu mets dans mon coeur plus de joie qu'ils n'en ont Quand abondent leur froment et leur moût.

(4:9) Je me couche et je m'endors en paix, Car toi seul, ô Éternel! tu me donnes la sécurité dans ma demeure.

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.

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