< Psalmi 4 >
1 Zborovođi. Uz žičana glazbala. Psalam. Davidov. Kad zazovem, usliši me, Bože, pravdo moja, ti što me u tjeskobi izbavÄi: smiluj mi se, usliši moju molitvu!
Unto the end, in verses. A psalm for David. When I called upon him, the God of my justice heard me: when I was in distress, thou hast enlarged me. Have mercy on me: and hear my prayer.
2 Sinovi čovječji, dokle će vam srca ostati tvrda? Zašto ispraznost ljubite, opsjenu slijedite?
O ye sons of men, how long will you be dull of heart? why do you love vanity, and seek after lying?
3 Znajte: Jahve čudesno uzvisuje prijatelja svoga; Gospodin će me uslišiti kad ga zazovem.
Know ye also that the Lord hath made his holy one wonderful: the Lord will hear me when I shall cry unto him.
4 Promislite u srcima i ne griješite, dršćite na svojim ležajima i zanijemite.
Be angry, and sin not: the things you say in your hearts, be sorry for them upon your beds.
5 Prinesite žrtve pravedne, u Jahvu se uzdajte!
Offer up the sacrifice of justice, and trust in the Lord: many say, Who sheweth us good things?
6 Mnogi govore: “Tko će nam pokazati sreću?” Obasjaj nas, Jahve, svjetlom svoga lica!
The light of thy countenance O Lord, is signed upon us: thou hast given gladness in my heart.
7 Više si u srce moje ulio radosti nego kad obilno rode pšenica i vino.
By the fruit of their corn, their wine and oil, they are multiplied.
8 Čim legnem, odmah u miru i usnem, jer mi samo ti, o Jahve, daješ miran počinak.
In peace in the selfsame I will sleep, and I will rest: For thou, O Lord, singularly hast settled me in hope.
