詩 篇 4
Chinese Union Version (Traditional)
4 （ 大 衛 的 詩 ， 交 與 伶 長 。 用 絲 弦 的 樂 器 。 ） 顯 我 為 義 的 神 啊 ， 我 呼 籲 的 時 候 ， 求 你 應 允 我 ！ 我 在 困 苦 中 ， 你 曾 使 我 寬 廣 ； 現 在 求 你 憐 恤 我 ， 聽 我 的 禱 告 ！
2 你 們 這 上 流 人 哪 ， 你 們 將 我 的 尊 榮 變 為 羞 辱 要 到 幾 時 呢 ？ 你 們 喜 愛 虛 妄 ， 尋 找 虛 假 ， 要 到 幾 時 呢 ？ （ 細 拉 ）
3 你 們 要 知 道 ， 耶 和 華 已 經 分 別 虔 誠 人 歸 他 自 己 ； 我 求 告 耶 和 華 ， 他 必 聽 我 。
4 你 們 應 當 畏 懼 ， 不 可 犯 罪 ； 在 床 上 的 時 候 ， 要 心 裡 思 想 ， 並 要 肅 靜 。 （ 細 拉 ）
5 當 獻 上 公 義 的 祭 ， 又 當 倚 靠 耶 和 華 。
6 有 許 多 人 說 ： 誰 能 指 示 我 們 甚 麼 好 處 ？ 耶 和 華 啊 ， 求 你 仰 起 臉 來 ， 光 照 我 們 。
7 你 使 我 心 裡 快 樂 ， 勝 過 那 豐 收 五 穀 新 酒 的 人 。
8 我 必 安 然 躺 下 睡 覺 ， 因 為 獨 有 你 ─ 耶 和 華 使 我 安 然 居 住 。

Psalm 4
New King James Version
The Safety of the Faithful
To the [a]Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.
4 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness!
You have relieved me in my distress;
[b]Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
2 How long, O you sons of men,
Will you turn my glory to shame?
How long will you love worthlessness
And seek falsehood? Selah
3 But know that (A)the Lord has [c]set apart for Himself him who is godly;
The Lord will hear when I call to Him.
4 (B)Be[d] angry, and do not sin.
(C)Meditate within your heart on your bed, and be still. Selah
5 Offer (D)the sacrifices of righteousness,
And (E)put your trust in the Lord.
6 There are many who say,
“Who will show us any good?”
(F)Lord, lift up the light of Your countenance upon us.
7 You have put (G)gladness in my heart,
More than in the season that their grain and wine increased.
8 (H)I will both lie down in peace, and sleep;
(I)For You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.
