Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

A Night Prayer

For the choir director: with stringed instruments.^(A) A psalm of David.

4 Answer me when I call,
God, who vindicates me.^[a]^(B)
You freed me from affliction;^(C)
be gracious to me and hear my prayer.

²How long, exalted ones,^[b] will my honour be insulted?^(D)
How long will you love what is worthless^(E)
and pursue a lie? Selah
³Know that the Lord has set apart
the faithful for himself;
the Lord will hear when I call to him.
⁴Be angry^[c] and do not sin;^(F)
reflect in your heart while on your bed and be silent.^(G) Selah
⁵Offer sacrifices in righteousness^[d]^(H)
and trust in the Lord.^(I)

⁶Many are asking, ‘Who can show us anything good? ’
Let the light of your face shine on us, Lord.^(J)

⁷You have put more joy in my heart
than they have when their grain and new wine abound.^(K)
⁸I will both lie down and sleep in peace,^(L)
for you alone, Lord, make me live in safety.^(M)

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。
