< Psalms 4 >
1 For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved my distress; show me grace and hear my prayer.
Aw ka dyngnaak Khawsa, ka nik khy awh ce oei lah. Ngaih kyi ing ka awm awh ngaihqepnak ni pe lah; nim qeen nawh kak cykcah awi ning ngai pe lah.
2 How long, O men, will my honor be maligned? How long will you love vanity and seek after lies?
Aw thlangkhqi, ka boeimangnaak ve han dy awh nu chahqai na naming coeng hly sak hy voei? Han dy awh nu oek thawlhnaak ce lungna unawh, amak thym khawsa ce nami sui khak kaw?
3 Know that the LORD has set apart the godly for Himself; the LORD hears when I call to Him.
Bawipa ing amah ben awh ak ypawm thlangkhqi ce amah aham hoep hawh hy ti sim lah uh; kak khy awh Bawipa ing kak awi za kaw.
4 Be angry, yet do not sin; on your bed, search your heart and be still.
Namik kaw a sonaak awh koeh thawlh uh; ihkhun awh naming zaih awh namik kaw poek hqeet unawh awm dym uh.
5 Offer the sacrifices of the righteous and trust in the LORD.
Ak thym bulnaak ce nawn nawh Bawipa ce ypna lah.
6 Many ask, “Who can show us the good?” Shine the light of Your face upon us, O LORD.
U ing nu them leek a nim huh lah voei?” thlang khawzah ing ti uhy. Aw Bawipa na haai vangnaak ce kak khanawh be sak lah.
7 You have filled my heart with more joy than when grain and new wine abound.
Caang ingkaw misur thaih ami zen awhkaw zeelnaak anglakawh, kak kawlung ve zeelnaak ak bau soeih ing be sak khqpet hyk ti.
8 I will lie down and sleep in peace, for You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
Zaih nyng saw ngaihding cana ip hly hawh nyng; Aw Bawipa ka loetnaak taw nang doek khoeih ni.
