Psalms
Chapter 4
1 1 2 For the leader; with stringed instruments. A psalm of David.
达味诗歌，交与乐官，和以弦乐。
2 Answer when I call, my saving God. In my troubles, you cleared a way; show me favor; hear my prayer.
我公义的天主！我一呼求你，你就应允了我，我在困苦中，你曾舒畅了我。求你怜悯我，求你俯听我祷。
3 How long will you people mock my honor, love what is worthless, chase after lies? Selah
显贵的人们，你们的心要硬到几时？你们爱慕虚幻，追求虚伪究竟何为？
4 Know that the LORD works wonders for the faithful; the LORD hears when I call out.
你们当知：上主特爱对他虔敬的人，当我呼求上主的时候，他一定俯允。
5 3 Tremble and do not sin; upon your beds ponder in silence.
你们应战栗，不可一再作恶，在床上检讨，且要扪心思过。
6 Offer fitting sacrifice and trust in the LORD.
奉上正义的祭献，对上主全心依盼。
7 Many say, ＂May we see better times! LORD, show us the light of your face!＂ Selah
有许多人说：＂谁能使我们幸福亨通？＂上主，望你向我们显你光辉的仪容。
8 But you have given my heart more joy than they have when grain and wine abound.
你赐给我心中的欢跃，远胜过麦和酒的丰饶。
9 In peace I shall both lie down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me secure.
在平安中我一躺下即刻入睡，上主，唯有你能使我安居顺遂。

Footnotes（注解）
1 [Psalm 4] An individual lament emphasizing trust in God. The petition is based upon the psalmist's vivid experience of God as savior (Psalm 4:2). That experience of God is the basis for the warning to the wicked: revere God who intervenes on the side of the faithful (Psalm 4:3-6). The faithful psalmist exemplifies the blessings given to the just (Psalm 4:7-8).
2 [1] For the leader: many psalm headings contain this rubric. Its exact meaning is unknown but may signify that such psalms once stood together in a collection of ＂the choirmaster.＂ Cf 1 Chron 15:21.
3 [5] Tremble: be moved deeply with religious awe. The Greek translation understood the emotion to be anger, and it is so cited in Eph 4:26.
