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。

An Evening Prayer

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

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.

People, how long will you turn my honor into shame?
    You love what is false, and you look for new lies. Selah
You know that the Lord has chosen for himself those who are loyal to him.
    The Lord listens when I pray to him.
When you are angry, do not sin.
    Think about these things quietly
    as you go to bed. Selah
Do what is right as a sacrifice to the Lord.
    And trust the Lord.

Many people ask,
    “Who will give us anything good?
    Lord, be kind to us.”
But you have made me very happy.
    I am happier than they are,
    even with all their grain and wine.
I go to bed and sleep in peace.
    Lord, only you keep me safe.

For the director of music. A psalm of David to be played on stringed instruments.

My faithful God,
    answer me when I call out to you.
Give me rest from my trouble.
    Have mercy on me. Hear my prayer.

How long will you people turn my glory into shame?
    How long will you love what will certainly fail you?
    How long will you pray to statues of gods?
Remember that the Lord has set apart his faithful servant for himself.
    The Lord hears me when I call out to him.

Tremble and do not sin.
    When you are in bed,
    look deep down inside yourself and be silent.
Offer to the Lord the sacrifices that godly people offer.
    Trust in him.

Lord, many are asking, “Who will make us successful?”
    Lord, may you do good things for us.
Fill my heart with joy
    when the people have lots of grain and fresh wine.
In peace I will lie down and sleep.
    Lord, you alone keep me safe.

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)
