Salme 4
1 Til Sangmesteren. Med Strengespil. En Salme af David.
For the End, a Song of David among [the ]Psalms. When I called upon [him], the God of my righteousness heard me: you have made room for me in tribulation; pity me, and listen to my prayer.
2 Svar, naar jeg raaber, min Retfærds Gud! I Trængsel skaffede du mig Rum. Vær naadig og hør min Bøn!
O you sons of men, how long [will you be] slow of heart? therefore do you love vanity, and seek falsehood? (Pause)
3 Hvor længe, I Mænd, skal min Ære skændes? Hvor længe vil I elske Tomhed, søge Løgn? (Sela)
But know you that the Lord has done wondrous things for his holy one: the Lord will hear me when I cry to him.
4 Vid dog, at HERREN er mig underfuldt god; naar jeg paakalder HERREN, hører han mig.
Be you angry, and sin not; feel compunction upon your beds for what you say in your hearts. (Pause)
5 Vredes kun, men forsynd eder ikke, tænk efter paa eders Leje og ti! (Sela)
Offer the sacrifice of righteousness, and trust in the Lord.
6 Bring rette Ofre og stol paa HERREN!
Many say, Who will show us good things? the light of your countenance, O Lord, has been manifested towards us.
7 Mange siger: »Hvo bringer os Lykke?« Opløft paa os dit Aasyns Lys!
You have put gladness into my heart: they have been satisfied with the fruit of their corn and wine and oil.
8 HERRE, du skænked mit Hjerte en Glæde, større end deres, da Korn og Most flød over. I Fred gaar jeg til Hvile og slumrer straks, thi, HERRE, du lader mig bo alene i Tryghed.
I will both lie down in peace and sleep: for you, Lord, only have caused me to dwell securely.
