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。

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。

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)

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。

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)

你們應當獻公義的祭,

也要投靠耶和華。

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。

你使我心裡喜樂,

勝過人在豐收五穀新酒時的喜樂。

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[a]

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

Answer me when I call to you,
    my righteous God.
Give me relief from my distress;
    have mercy on me and hear my prayer.

How long will you people turn my glory into shame?
    How long will you love delusions and seek false gods?[b][c]
Know that the Lord has set apart his faithful servant for himself;
    the Lord hears when I call to him.

Tremble and[d] do not sin;
    when you are on your beds,
    search your hearts and be silent.
Offer the sacrifices of the righteous
    and trust in the Lord.

Many, Lord, are asking, ‘Who will bring us prosperity?’
    Let the light of your face shine on us.
Fill my heart with joy
    when their grain and new wine abound.

In peace I will lie down and sleep,
    for you alone, Lord,
    make me dwell in safety.

An evening song

God, please answer me when I call aloud for help.
You are the one who shows that I am right.
    Help me in my trouble.
    Show me that you are kind.
    Listen to me when I pray.
Tell me this, you people:
    How long will you refuse to respect me?
    How long will you love stupid ideas?
    How long will you agree with lies?
Selah.
The Lord is very kind to those who serve him.
    He has chosen them to belong to himself.
    So he listens when I pray to him.
Shake with fear and stop doing wrong things!
    Lie on your bed and think quietly about your life.
Selah.
Offer the right sacrifices to the Lord.
    Continue to trust in him.
Many people say, ‘Will anyone do a good thing for us?’
    Lord, let your face smile on us.
You have made me very happy.
    I am happier than anyone who has lots of food and wine.
I will lie down and I will sleep in peace.
You, Lord, are the one who takes care of me,
    and you keep me safe.
