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.
Kwa mwimbishaji. Kwa ala za nyuzi za muziki. Zaburi ya Daudi. Nijibu nikuitapo, Ee Mungu wangu mwenye haki! Nipumzishe katika shida zangu; nirehemu, usikie ombi langu.
2 How long, O men, will my honor be maligned? How long will you love vanity and seek after lies?
Enyi watu, mtabadilisha utukufu wangu kuwa aibu mpaka lini? Mtapenda udanganyifu na kufuata miungu ya uongo mpaka lini?
3 Know that the LORD has set apart the godly for Himself; the LORD hears when I call to Him.
Fahamuni hakika kwamba Bwana amewatenga wale wamchao kwa ajili yake; Bwana atanisikia nimwitapo.
4 Be angry, yet do not sin; on your bed, search your heart and be still.
Katika hasira yako, usitende dhambi. Mkiwa vitandani mwenu, mtulie kimya mkiichunguza mioyo yenu.
5 Offer the sacrifices of the righteous and trust in the LORD.
Toeni dhabihu zilizo haki; mtegemeeni Bwana.
6 Many ask, “Who can show us the good?” Shine the light of Your face upon us, O LORD.
Wengi wanauliza, “Ni nani awezaye kutuonyesha jema lolote?” Ee Bwana, tuangazie nuru ya uso wako.
7 You have filled my heart with more joy than when grain and new wine abound.
Wewe umejaza moyo wangu kwa furaha kubwa kuliko watu waliopata nafaka na divai kwa wingi.
8 I will lie down and sleep in peace, for You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
Nitajilaza chini na kulala kwa amani, kwa kuwa wewe peke yako, Ee Bwana, waniwezesha kukaa kwa salama.
