大衛的詩。交給聖詠團長，用絲弦的樂器。求助的晚禱
顯我為義的神啊，
我呼求的時候，求你應允我！ 我在困境中，你曾使我寬暢； 求你憐憫我，聽我的禱告！ Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
2你们这些人哪，你们把我的尊荣变为羞辱，要到几时呢？ 你们喜爱虚妄，寻找虚假，要到几时呢？☛本节七十士译本是“你们这些人哪，你们的心刚硬要到几时呢？你们为什么喜爱虚妄，寻找虚假呢？”（细拉）O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.
3你们要知道，耶和华已将虔诚人分别出来归他自己； 我求告耶和华，他必垂听。But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.
4应当畏惧，不可犯罪； 在床上的时候，要心里思想，并要安静。（细拉）Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.
5当献上公义的祭， 又当倚靠耶和华。Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
6有许多人说：“谁能指示我们什么好处？ 耶和华啊，求你用你脸上的光照耀我们。”There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
7你使我心里喜乐， 胜过那丰收五谷新酒的人。Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.
8我必平安地躺下睡觉， 因为独有你－耶和华使我安然居住。I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.
