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.
Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Hampiarahina amin’ ny valiha. Salamo nataon’ i Davida. Raha miantso aho, mamalia ahy, ry Andriamanitry ny fahamarinako ô; Raha tao an-katerena aho, dia nohalalahinao toerana; Mamindrà fo amiko, ka henoy ny fivavako.
2 How long, O men, will my honor be maligned? How long will you love vanity and seek after lies?
Ry lehibe, mandra-pahoviana no hataonareo ho henatra ny voninahitro, ary ho tia zava-poana sy hamoron-dainga ianareo? (Sela)
3 Know that the LORD has set apart the godly for Himself; the LORD hears when I call to Him.
Kanefa aoka ho fantatrareo fa efa navahan’ i Jehovah ho Azy ny tsara fanahy; Jehovah hihaino, raha miantso Azy aho.
4 Be angry, yet do not sin; on your bed, search your heart and be still.
Tezera, fa aza manota; mieritrereta eo am-pandrianareo, ka mangìna. (Sela)
5 Offer the sacrifices of the righteous and trust in the LORD.
Manatera fanati-pahamarinana, ary matokia an’ i Jehovah.
6 Many ask, “Who can show us the good?” Shine the light of Your face upon us, O LORD.
Maro no niteny hoe: iza no haneho soa antsika? Asandrato aminay ny fahazavan’ ny tavanao, Jehovah ô.
7 You have filled my heart with more joy than when grain and new wine abound.
Efa nasianao fifaliana ny foko mihoatra noho ny tamin’ ny taona nahabetsahan’ ny variny sy ny ranom-boalobony.
8 I will lie down and sleep in peace, for You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
Handry amin’ ny fiadanana aho, ka dia hatory miaraka amin’ izay, satria Hianao, Jehovah ô, no mampitoetra ahy mitokana irery tsy manana ahiahy.
