Psalm 4
International Children’s Bible
An Evening Prayer
For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A song of David.
4 Answer me when I pray to you,
my God who does what is right.
Lift the load that I carry.
Be kind to me and hear my prayer.
2 People, how long will you turn my honor into shame?
You love what is false, and you look for new lies. Selah
3 You know that the Lord has chosen for himself those who are loyal to him.
The Lord listens when I pray to him.
4 When you are angry, do not sin.
Think about these things quietly
as you go to bed. Selah
5 Do what is right as a sacrifice to the Lord.
And trust the Lord.
6 Many people ask,
“Who will give us anything good?
Lord, be kind to us.”
7 But you have made me very happy.
I am happier than they are,
even with all their grain and wine.
8 I go to bed and sleep in peace.
Lord, only you keep me safe.
诗篇 4
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
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。
4 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。
2 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）
3 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。
4 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）
5 你們應當獻公義的祭，
也要投靠耶和華。
6 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。
7 你使我心裡喜樂，
勝過人在豐收五穀新酒時的喜樂。
8 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。
Psalm 4
King James Version
4 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.
2 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.
3 But know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the Lord will hear when I call unto him.
4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the Lord.
6 There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? Lord, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.
8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety.
