Psalms 4
1 Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness. Thou have enlarged me in distress. Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
Dawid dwom. Sɛ misu frɛ wo a, gye me so, me trenee Nyankopɔn. Ma me ɔhome wɔ mʼahohia mu; hu me mmɔbɔ na tie me mpaebɔ.
2 O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? Will ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? (Selah)
Enkosi da bɛn na mobɛdan mʼanuonyam ahohora? Enkosi da bɛn na mobɛdɔ nneɛma hunu na moadi ahoni ahuhuw akyi?
3 But know that Jehovah has set apart for himself him who is holy. Jehovah will hear when I call to him.
Hu sɛ Awurade ayi nea ɔwɔ nyamesu ama ne ho; Awurade betie, sɛ misu mefrɛ no a.
4 Stand in awe, and sin not. Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
Sɛ mo bo fuw a, monnyɛ bɔne; sɛ modeda mo mpa so a, monyɛ komm na monhwehwɛ mo koma mu.
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in Jehovah.
Mommɔ afɔre a ɛfata na momfa mo werɛ nhyɛ Awurade mu.
6 Many there are who say, Who will show us good? Jehovah, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
Nnipa bebree bisa se: “Hena na ɔde yiyeyɛ bɛbrɛ yɛn?” Awurade, ma wʼanim hann no nhyerɛn yɛn so.
7 Thou have put gladness in my heart more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.
Fa anigye mmoroso hyɛ me koma ma bere a wɔn aburow ne nsa foforo abu so no.
8 In peace I will both lie down and sleep, for thou, Jehovah, alone make me dwell in safety.
Mɛtɔ hɔ, na mada asomdwoe mu, efisɛ wo nko ara, Awurade, na woma metena dwoodwoo. Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo sɛ wɔmfa atɛntɛbɛn nto.
