詩篇 4
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
求助的晚禱
大衛的詩，交給樂長，弦樂器伴奏。
4 稱我為義人的上帝啊！
我呼求的時候，求你回答。
你曾救我脫離困境，
現在求你憐憫我，
垂聽我的禱告。
2 世人啊！你們把我的榮耀變為羞辱要到何時呢？
你們追求虛謊之事要到何時呢？（細拉）
3 要知道，耶和華已經把敬虔人分別出來，使之聖潔，歸祂自己。
祂必垂聽我的祈求。
4 不要因生氣而犯罪；
躺在床上的時候要默然思想。（細拉）
5 要獻上當獻的祭物，
信靠耶和華。
6 許多人說：「誰會善待我們呢？」
耶和華啊，
求你的聖容光照我們。
7 你使我比那收穫五穀新酒的人更喜樂。
8 只有你耶和華使我安然居住，
我必高枕無憂。
Psalm 4
Living Bible
4 O God, you have declared me perfect in your eyes;[a] you have always cared for me in my distress; now hear me as I call again. Have mercy on me. Hear my prayer.
2 The Lord God asks, “Sons of men, will you forever turn my glory into shame by worshiping these silly idols, when every claim that’s made for them is false?”
3 Mark this well: The Lord has set apart the redeemed for himself. Therefore he will listen to me and answer when I call to him. 4 Stand before the Lord in awe,[b] and do not sin against him. Lie quietly upon your bed in silent meditation. 5 Put your trust in the Lord, and offer him pleasing sacrifices.
6 Many say that God will never help us. Prove them wrong,[c] O Lord, by letting the light of your face shine down upon us. 7 Yes, the gladness you have given me is far greater than their joys at harvest time as they gaze at their bountiful crops. 8 I will lie down in peace and sleep, for though I am alone, O Lord, you will keep me safe.
