诗篇 4
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
求助的晚祷
大卫的诗，交给乐长，弦乐器伴奏。
4 称我为义人的上帝啊！
我呼求的时候，求你回答。
你曾救我脱离困境，
现在求你怜悯我，
垂听我的祷告。
2 世人啊！你们把我的荣耀变为羞辱要到何时呢？
你们追求虚谎之事要到何时呢？（细拉）
3 要知道，耶和华已经把敬虔人分别出来，使之圣洁，归祂自己。
祂必垂听我的祈求。
4 不要因生气而犯罪；
躺在床上的时候要默然思想。（细拉）
5 要献上当献的祭物，
信靠耶和华。
6 许多人说：“谁会善待我们呢？”
耶和华啊，
求你的圣容光照我们。
7 你使我比那收获五谷新酒的人更喜乐。
8 只有你耶和华使我安然居住，
我必高枕无忧。
Psalm 4
1599 Geneva Bible
4 When Saul persecuted him, he called upon God, trusting most assuredly in his promise, and therefore boldly reproveth his enemies, who willfully resisted his dominion, 7 and finally preferreth the favor of God before all worldly treasures.
[a]To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalm of David.
1 Hear me when I call, [b]O God of my righteousness: thou hast set me at liberty, when I was in [c]distress: have mercy upon me, and hearken unto my prayer.
2 O ye [d]sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame, [e]loving vanity, and seeking lies? Selah.
3 For be ye sure that the Lord hath chosen to himself [f]a godly man, the Lord will hear when I call unto him.
4 [g]Tremble and sin not: examine your own heart upon your bed, and be [h]still. Selah.
5 [i]Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and trust in the Lord.
6 Many say, Who will show us any [j]good? but Lord, lift up the light of thy countenance upon us.
7 Thou hast given me more joy of heart, than they have had, when their wheat and their wine did abound.
8 I will lay me down, and also sleep in peace: for thou, [k]Lord, only makest me dwell in safety.
