< 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.
I KA'U uolo ana'ku e lohe mai ia'u, e ke Akua o'u e pono ai: Ua hoakea mai oe ia'u i ko'u popilikia; E aloha mai oe ia'u, e hoolohe mai hoi i ka'u pule.
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)
E na keiki a kanaka, pehea la ka loihi O ko oukou hoolilo ana i ko'u nani i me a hilahila? No ke aha la e aloha ai oukou i ka lapuwale, A imi hoi i wahahee? (Sila)
3 And know this: the Lord has made wondrous his holy one. The Lord will heed me when I cry out to him.
E ike hoi oukou na hoana e o Iehova i ka mea haipulo nona; E lohe mai no o Iehova i ko'u kahea ana'ku ia ia.
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)
E haalulu oukou, mai hana hewa; E kukakuka me ko oukou naau iho, Ma ko oukou wahi moe e noho malie ai. (Sila)
5 Offer the sacrifice of justice, and hope in the Lord. Many say, “Who reveals to us what is good?”
E kaumaha aku oukou i ka mohai pono, E lelepau ko oukou manao ia Iehova.
6 The light of your countenance, Lord, has been sealed upon us. You have given joy to my heart.
He nui no ka poe i olelo mai, Owai ka mea o hoike mai i ka pono ia kakou? E Iehova, e hoomalamalama mai kou maka ia makou.
7 By the fruit of their grain, wine, and oil, they have been multiplied.
Ua hookomo mai oe i ka olioli iloko o ko'u naau, A oi aku ko'u i ko lakou i ka mahuahua ana'e o ka palaoa a me ka waina.
8 In peace itself, I will sleep and I will rest. For you, O Lord, have established me singularly in hope.
E moe au ilalo me ka maluhia, a hiamoe: No ka mea, o oe wale no, e Iehova, ka i hoomalu mai i ko'u noho ana.
