唯有 神赐人喜乐平安

大卫的诗,交给诗班长,用丝弦的乐器伴奏。

我公义的 神啊(“我公义的 神啊”或译:“使我为义的 神啊”)!

我呼求的时候,求你答应我。

我在困苦中,你曾使我舒畅。

求你恩待我,听我的祷告。

尊贵的人啊!你们把我的荣耀变为羞辱,要到几时呢?

你们喜爱虚妄,追求虚谎,要到几时呢?(细拉)

你们要知道耶和华已经把虔诚人分别出来,归他自己;

我向耶和华呼求的时候,他就垂听。

你们生气,却不可犯罪;

在床上的时候,你们要在心里思想,并且要安静。(细拉)

你们应当献公义的祭,

也要投靠耶和华。

有许多人说:“谁能指示我们得甚么好处呢?”

耶和华啊!求你仰起你的脸,光照我们。

你使我心里喜乐,

胜过人在丰收五谷新酒时的喜乐。

我必平平安安躺下睡觉,

因为只有你耶和华能使我安然居住。

Psalm 4

My Righteous God, Give Me Relief

Heading

For the choir director. With stringed instruments. A psalm by David.

A Prayer to God

My righteous God, answer me when I call.
When I was under pressure, you gave me relief.
Be merciful to me and hear my prayer.

A Rebuke to Enemies

You people, how long will you turn my glory into shame?
How long will you love empty delusions? Interlude
How long will you pursue lies?
Know this: The Lord has set apart
    his favored one[a] for himself.
The Lord will hear when I call to him.

Advice to Friends

You may be upset, but do not sin.
When you are on your beds,
    speak to your heart, but remain silent. Interlude
Offer righteous sacrifices,
and trust in the Lord.
Many are saying, “Who can show us any good?”
Shine the light of your face on us, O Lord.

Closing Prayer

You have placed joy in my heart greater than the joy
    when grain and new wine are plentiful.
In complete peace I will lie down, and I will sleep,
for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 4:3 The Hebrew word hasid refers to someone who receives and/or gives mercy. It is the most common title for a believer in the Psalms. Many translations use generic terms like devout, godly, or faithful. This translation uses favored when hasid refers primarily to a recipient of mercy and merciful when it refers primarily to a dispenser of mercy.

(0) For the leader. With stringed instruments. A psalm of David:

(1) O God, my vindicator!
Answer me when I call!
When I was distressed, you set me free;
now have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.

(2) Men of rank, how long will you shame my honor,
love what is vain, chase after lies? (Selah)
(3) Understand that Adonai sets apart
the godly person for himself;
Adonai will hear when I call to him.
(4) You can be angry, but do not sin!
Think about this as you lie in bed,
and calm down. (Selah)
(5) Offer sacrifices rightly,
and put your trust in Adonai.

(6) Many ask, “Who can show us some good?”
Adonai, lift the light of your face over us!
(7) You have filled my heart with more joy
than all their grain and new wine.
(8) I will lie down and sleep in peace;
for, Adonai, you alone make me live securely.

Psalm 4[a]

Answer me(A) when I call to you,

How long will you people turn my glory(E) into shame?(F)

Tremble and[d] do not sin;(J)
    when you are on your beds,(K)
