Psalms 4: Trusting God Before Sleep
点击经文以高亮显示

1 (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。

常见问题

What does the psalmist ask for in Psalms 4?
He asks God to hear his prayer and have mercy, recalling that God has helped him in distress before (v.1), while rebuking others for turning his glory into shame and loving vanity (v.2).
What does Psalms 4:4 advise about anger?
It says, 'Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still' (v.4), counseling quiet self-examination rather than acting out in anger.
What does Psalms 4:8 say about sleeping in peace?
The psalm closes with, 'I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety' (v.8), a trust in God's protection similar to Proverbs 3:24.

David contrasts the fleeting joy of a good harvest with the deeper gladness God has placed in his heart, then closes by lying down to sleep in safety because the LORD alone secures him, a calm echoed in Psalms 5 and Proverbs 3:24.
