Psalms 4
Psalms is the Bible's book of songs and prayers — 150 poems of lament, praise, protest and thanksgiving, gathered over centuries. Individual psalms are short, which makes them a natural place to start reading.
显我为义的 神啊, 我呼吁的时候,求你应允我! 我在困苦中,你曾使我宽广; 现在求你怜恤我,听我的祷告!
xiǎn wǒ wèi yì de shén a , wǒ hū yù de shí hou , qiú nǐ yīng yǔn wǒ ! wǒ zài kùn kǔ zhōng , nǐ céng shǐ wǒ kuān guǎng ; xiàn zài qiú nǐ lián xù wǒ , tīng wǒ de dǎo gào !
Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. Give me relief from my distress. Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
你们这上流人哪,你们将我的尊荣变为羞辱要到几时呢? 你们喜爱虚妄,寻找虚假,要到几时呢? (细拉)
nǐ men zhè shàng liú rén nǎ , nǐ men jiāng wǒ de zūn róng biàn wéi xiū rǔ yào dào jǐ shí ne ? nǐ men xǐ ài xū wàng , xún zhǎo xū jiǎ , yào dào jǐ shí ne ? ( xì lā )
You sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? Will you love vanity and seek after falsehood? Selah.
你们要知道,耶和华已经分别虔诚人归他自己; 我求告耶和华,他必听我。
nǐ men yào zhī dào , yē hé huá yǐ jīng fēn bié qián chéng rén guī tā zì jǐ ; wǒ qiú gào yē hé huá , tā bì tīng wǒ 。
But know that the LORD has set apart for himself him who is godly; The LORD will hear when I call to him.
你们应当畏惧,不可犯罪; 在床上的时候,要心里思想,并要肃静。 (细拉)
nǐ men yīng dāng wèi jù , bù kě fàn zuì ; zài chuáng shàng de shí hou , yào xīn li sī xiǎng , bìng yào sù jìng 。 ( xì lā )
Stand in awe, and don’t sin. Search your own heart on your bed, and be still. Selah.
当献上公义的祭, 又当倚靠耶和华。
dāng xiàn shàng gōng yì de jì , yòu dāng yǐ kào yē hé huá 。
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness. Put your trust in the LORD.
有许多人说:谁能指示我们什么好处? 耶和华啊,求你仰起脸来,光照我们。
yǒu xǔ duō rén shuō : shuí néng zhǐ shì wǒ men shén me hǎo chù ? yē hé huá a , qiú nǐ yǎng qǐ liǎn lái , guāng zhào wǒ men 。
Many say, “Who will show us any good?” LORD, let the light of your face shine on us.
你使我心里快乐, 胜过那丰收五谷新酒的人。
nǐ shǐ wǒ xīn li kuài lè , shèng guò nà fēng shōu wǔ gǔ xīn jiǔ de rén 。
You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.
我必安然躺下睡觉, 因为独有你—耶和华使我安然居住。
wǒ bì ān rán tǎng xià shuì jiào , yīn wèi dú yǒu nǐ — yē hé huá shǐ wǒ ān rán jū zhù 。
In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me live in safety.
