Psalms 4
1 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness; Thou hast set me at large [when I was] in distress: Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
Dura buʼaa Faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit kan Baganaadhaan Faarfatamu. Yaa Waaqa qajeelumma kootii, yommuu ani si waammadhutti deebii naa kenni. Ati yeroo rakkina kootti na boqochiisi; araara kee naa buusi; kadhaa koos dhagaʼi.
2 O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? [How long] will ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? (Selah)
Yaa ilmaan namootaa, isin hamma yoomiitti ulfina koo gara salphinaatti deebiftu? Isin hamma yoomiitti waan faayidaa hin qabne jaallattanii soba barbaaddu?
3 But know that Jehovah hath set apart for himself him that is godly: Jehovah will hear when I call unto him.
Isin akka Waaqayyo warra isaaf bulan ofii isaatiif addaan baafate beekaa; Waaqayyo yommuu ani isa waammadhutti na dhagaʼa.
4 Stand in awe, and sin not: Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
Yeroo aartanitti cubbuu hin hojjetinaa; yommuu siree keessan irra jirtanitti, garaa keessan keessatti yaadaa; calʼisaas.
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, And put your trust in Jehovah.
Aarsaa qajeelummaa dhiʼeessaa; Waaqayyonis amanadhaa.
6 Many there are that say, Who will show us [any] good? Jehovah, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
Namoonni, “Eenyutu waan gaarii nu argi argisiisa?” jedhan baayʼee dha; yaa Waaqayyo, ifni fuula keetii nurratti haa ifu.
7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, More than [they have] when their grain and their new wine are increased.
Gammachuu isaan yeroo midhaanii fi daadhiin wayinii isaanii baayʼatutti argatan caalaa, ati garaa koo gammachuu guddaadhaan guutteerta.
8 In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; For thou, Jehovah, alone makest me dwell in safety.
Ani nagaadhaan nan ciisa; nan rafas; yaa Waaqayyo si qofatu, sodaa malee na jiraachisaatii.
