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!
“For the leader of the music; to be accompanied with stringed instruments. A psalm of David.” Hear me, when I call, O God of my righteousness! Thou hast helped me, when I was in trouble, —Have pity upon me, and hear my prayer!
2 Sinovi čovječji, dokle će vam srca ostati tvrda? Zašto ispraznost ljubite, opsjenu slijedite?
How long, O men! will ye dishonor my dignity? How long will ye love vanity, and seek disappointment? (Pause)
3 Znajte: Jahve čudesno uzvisuje prijatelja svoga; Gospodin će me uslišiti kad ga zazovem.
Know ye that the LORD hath exalted one that is devoted to him; The LORD will hear, when I call upon him.
4 Promislite u srcima i ne griješite, dršćite na svojim ležajima i zanijemite.
Stand in awe, and sin no more; Commune with your hearts upon your beds, and desist! (Pause)
5 Prinesite žrtve pravedne, u Jahvu se uzdajte!
Offer sacrifices of righteousness, And put your trust in the LORD!
6 Mnogi govore: “Tko će nam pokazati sreću?” Obasjaj nas, Jahve, svjetlom svoga lica!
There are many who say, Who will show us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us!
7 Više si u srce moje ulio radosti nego kad obilno rode pšenica i vino.
Thou puttest gladness into my heart, Greater than theirs, when their corn and wine are abundant.
8 Čim legnem, odmah u miru i usnem, jer mi samo ti, o Jahve, daješ miran počinak.
I will lay me down in peace, and sleep: For thou alone, O LORD! makest me dwell in safety.
