For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm by David.

1 Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness.

Give me relief from my distress.

Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.

2 You sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor?

Will you love vanity and seek after falsehood? Selah.

3 But know that Yahweh has set apart for himself him who is godly;

Yahweh will hear when I call to him.

4 Stand in awe, and don’t sin.

Search your own heart on your bed, and be still. Selah.

5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness.

Put your trust in Yahweh.

6 Many say, "Who will show us any good?"

Yahweh, let the light of your face shine on us.

7 You have put gladness in my heart,

more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.

8 In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep,

for you alone, Yahweh, make me live in safety.

1 我公义的 神啊("我公义的 神啊"或译: "使我为义的 神啊")! 我呼求的时候, 求你答应我。我在困苦中, 你曾使我舒畅。求你恩待我, 听我的祷告。

2 尊贵的人啊! 你们把我的荣耀变为羞辱, 要到几时呢?你们喜爱虚妄, 追求虚谎, 要到几时呢?(细拉)

3 你们要知道耶和华已经把虔诚人分别出来, 归他自己; 我向耶和华呼求的时候, 他就垂听。

4 你们生气, 却不可犯罪; 在床上的时候, 你们要在心里思想, 并且要安静。(细拉)

5 你们应当献公义的祭, 也要投靠耶和华。

6 有许多人说: "谁能指示我们得什么好处呢?"耶和华啊! 求你仰起你的脸, 光照我们。

7 你使我心里喜乐, 胜过人在丰收五谷新酒时的喜乐。

8 我必平平安安躺下睡觉, 因为只有你耶和华能使我安然居住。
