< 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.
Poslušaj me, kadar kličem, oh Bog moje pravičnosti. Osvobodil si me, ko sem bil v stiski, usmili se me in usliši mojo molitev.
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)
Oh vi človeški sinovi, doklej boste mojo slavo spreminjali v sramoto? Kako dolgo boste ljubili prazne reči in iskali laž? (Sela)
3 See how the Lord has made great his mercy for me; the Lord will give ear to my cry.
Toda vedite, da je Gospod zase oddvojil tistega, ki je bogaboječ. Gospod bo slišal, kadar kličem k njemu.
4 Let there be fear in your hearts, and do no sin; have bitter feelings on your bed, but make no sound. (Selah)
Stoj v strahospoštovanju in ne greši. Na svoji postelji se posvetuj s svojim lastnim srcem in miruj. (Sela)
5 Give the offerings of righteousness, and put your faith in the Lord.
Daruj klavne daritve pravičnosti in svoje trdno upanje položi v Gospoda.
6 There are numbers who say, Who will do us any good? the light of his face has gone from us.
Mnogi so, ki pravijo: »Kdo nam bo pokazal karkoli dobrega?« Gospod, dvigni nad nami svetlobo svojega obličja.
7 Lord, you have put joy in my heart, more than they have when their grain and their wine are increased.
V moje srce si položil veselje, več kot v času, ko je naraslo njihovo žito in njihovo vino.
8 I will take my rest on my bed in peace, because you only, Lord, keep me safe.
V miru se bom ulegel in spal. Kajti samo ti, Gospod, mi daješ prebivati na varnem.
