< Psalms 4 >

1 In parts according to verses. A Psalm of David. When I called upon him, the God of my justice heeded me. In tribulation, you have enlarged me. Have mercy on me, and heed my prayer.
لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ عَلَى «ذَوَاتِ ٱلْأَوْتَارِ». مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ عِنْدَ دُعَائِيَ ٱسْتَجِبْ لِي يَا إِلَهَ بِرِّي. فِي ٱلضِّيقِ رَحَّبْتَ لِي. تَرَاءَفْ عَلَيَّ وَٱسْمَعْ صَلَاتِي.١
2 Sons of men, how long will you be dull in heart, so that whatever you love is in vain, and whatever you seek is false? (Pause)
يَا بَنِي ٱلْبَشَرِ، حَتَّى مَتَى يَكُونُ مَجْدِي عَارًا؟ حَتَّى مَتَى تُحِبُّونَ ٱلْبَاطِلَ وَتَبْتَغُونَ ٱلْكَذِبَ؟ سِلَاهْ.٢
3 And know this: the Lord has made wondrous his holy one. The Lord will heed me when I cry out to him.
فَٱعْلَمُوا أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ مَيَّزَ تَقِيَّهُ. ٱلرَّبُّ يَسْمَعُ عِنْدَ مَا أَدْعُوهُ.٣
4 Be angry, and do not be willing to sin. The things that you say in your hearts: be sorry for them on your beds. (Pause)
اِرْتَعِدُوا وَلَا تُخْطِئُوا. تَكَلَّمُوا فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ عَلَى مَضَاجِعِكُمْ وَٱسْكُتُوا. سِلَاهْ.٤
5 Offer the sacrifice of justice, and hope in the Lord. Many say, “Who reveals to us what is good?”
اِذْبَحُوا ذَبَائِحَ ٱلْبِرِّ، وَتَوَكَّلُوا عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ.٥
6 The light of your countenance, Lord, has been sealed upon us. You have given joy to my heart.
كَثِيرُونَ يَقُولُونَ: «مَنْ يُرِينَا خَيْرًا؟». ٱرْفَعْ عَلَيْنَا نُورَ وَجْهِكَ يَارَبُّ.٦
7 By the fruit of their grain, wine, and oil, they have been multiplied.
جَعَلْتَ سُرُورًا فِي قَلْبِي أَعْظَمَ مِنْ سُرُورِهِمْ إِذْ كَثُرَتْ حِنْطَتُهُمْ وَخَمْرُهُمْ.٧
8 In peace itself, I will sleep and I will rest. For you, O Lord, have established me singularly in hope.
بِسَلَامَةٍ أَضْطَجِعُ بَلْ أَيْضًا أَنَامُ، لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ مُنْفَرِدًا فِي طُمَأْنِينَةٍ تُسَكِّنُنِي.٨
