Salme 4
1 (Til sangmesteren. Med strengespil. En salme af David.) Svar, når jeg råber, min Retfærds Gud! I Trængsel skaffede du mig Rum. Vær nådig og hør min Bøn!
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 Hvor længe, I Mænd, skal min Ære skændes? Hvor længe vil I elske Tomhed, søge Løgn? (Sela)
O you sons of men, how long [will you be] slow of heart? therefore do you love vanity, and seek falsehood? (Pause)
3 Vid dog, at HERREN er mig underfuldt god; når jeg påkalder HERREN, hører han mig.
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 Vredes kun, men forsynd eder ikke, tænk efter på eders Leje og ti! (Sela)
Be you angry, and sin not; feel compunction upon your beds for what you say in your hearts. (Pause)
5 Bring rette Ofre og stol på HERREN!
Offer the sacrifice of righteousness, and trust in the Lord.
6 Mange siger: "Hvo bringer os Lykke?" Opløft på os dit Åsyns Lys!
Many say, Who will show us good things? the light of your countenance, O Lord, has been manifested towards us.
7 HERRE, du skænked mit Hjerte en Glæde, større end deres, da Korn og Most flød over.
You have put gladness into my heart: they have been satisfied with the fruit of their corn and wine and oil.
8 I Fred går 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.
