Psalms 4
1 To the chief music-maker on corded instruments. A Psalm. Of David. Give answer to my cry, O God of my righteousness; make me free from my troubles; have mercy on me, and give ear to 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 you sons of men, how long will you go on turning my glory into shame? how long will you give your love to foolish things, going after what is false? (Selah)
Yaa ilmaan namootaa, isin hamma yoomiitti ulfina koo gara salphinaatti deebiftu? Isin hamma yoomiitti waan faayidaa hin qabne jaallattanii soba barbaaddu?
3 See how the Lord has made great his mercy for me; the Lord will give ear to my cry.
Isin akka Waaqayyo warra isaaf bulan ofii isaatiif addaan baafate beekaa; Waaqayyo yommuu ani isa waammadhutti na dhagaʼa.
4 Let there be fear in your hearts, and do no sin; have bitter feelings on your bed, but make no sound. (Selah)
Yeroo aartanitti cubbuu hin hojjetinaa; yommuu siree keessan irra jirtanitti, garaa keessan keessatti yaadaa; calʼisaas.
5 Give the offerings of righteousness, and put your faith in the Lord.
Aarsaa qajeelummaa dhiʼeessaa; Waaqayyonis amanadhaa.
6 There are numbers who say, Who will do us any good? the light of his face has gone from us.
Namoonni, “Eenyutu waan gaarii nu argi argisiisa?” jedhan baayʼee dha; yaa Waaqayyo, ifni fuula keetii nurratti haa ifu.
7 Lord, you have put joy in my heart, more than they have when their grain and their wine are increased.
Gammachuu isaan yeroo midhaanii fi daadhiin wayinii isaanii baayʼatutti argatan caalaa, ati garaa koo gammachuu guddaadhaan guutteerta.
8 I will take my rest on my bed in peace, because you only, Lord, keep me safe.
Ani nagaadhaan nan ciisa; nan rafas; yaa Waaqayyo si qofatu, sodaa malee na jiraachisaatii.
