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.
Zborovođi. Uz žičana glazbala. Psalam. Davidov. Kad zazovem, usliši me, Bože, pravdo moja, ti što me u tjeskobi izbavÄi: smiluj mi se, usliši moju molitvu!
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)
Sinovi čovječji, dokle će vam srca ostati tvrda? Zašto ispraznost ljubite, opsjenu slijedite?
3 And know this: the Lord has made wondrous his holy one. The Lord will heed me when I cry out to him.
Znajte: Jahve čudesno uzvisuje prijatelja svoga; Gospodin će me uslišiti kad ga zazovem.
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)
Promislite u srcima i ne griješite, dršćite na svojim ležajima i zanijemite.
5 Offer the sacrifice of justice, and hope in the Lord. Many say, “Who reveals to us what is good?”
Prinesite žrtve pravedne, u Jahvu se uzdajte!
6 The light of your countenance, Lord, has been sealed upon us. You have given joy to my heart.
Mnogi govore: “Tko će nam pokazati sreću?” Obasjaj nas, Jahve, svjetlom svoga lica!
7 By the fruit of their grain, wine, and oil, they have been multiplied.
Više si u srce moje ulio radosti nego kad obilno rode pšenica i vino.
8 In peace itself, I will sleep and I will rest. For you, O Lord, have established me singularly in hope.
Čim legnem, odmah u miru i usnem, jer mi samo ti, o Jahve, daješ miran počinak.
