< Psalms 4 >
1 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm by David. Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. Give me relief from my distress. Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
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!
2 You sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? Will you love vanity and seek after falsehood? (Selah)
Sinovi čovječji, dokle će vam srca ostati tvrda? Zašto ispraznost ljubite, opsjenu slijedite?
3 But know that the LORD has set apart for himself him who is godly; The LORD will hear when I call to him.
Znajte: Jahve čudesno uzvisuje prijatelja svoga; Gospodin će me uslišiti kad ga zazovem.
4 Stand in awe, and do not sin. Search your own heart on your bed, and be still. (Selah)
Promislite u srcima i ne griješite, dršćite na svojim ležajima i zanijemite.
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness. Put your trust in the LORD.
Prinesite žrtve pravedne, u Jahvu se uzdajte!
6 Many say, “Who will show us any good?” LORD, let the light of your face shine on us.
Mnogi govore: “Tko će nam pokazati sreću?” Obasjaj nas, Jahve, svjetlom svoga lica!
7 You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.
Više si u srce moje ulio radosti nego kad obilno rode pšenica i vino.
8 In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me live in safety.
Čim legnem, odmah u miru i usnem, jer mi samo ti, o Jahve, daješ miran počinak.
