Psalms 4
1 Unto the end, in verses. A psalm for David. When I called upon him, the God of my justice heard me: when I was in distress, thou hast enlarged me. Have mercy on me: and hear 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 O ye sons of men, how long will you be dull of heart? why do you love vanity, and seek after lying?
Sinovi čovječji, dokle će vam srca ostati tvrda? Zašto ispraznost ljubite, opsjenu slijedite?
3 Know ye also that the Lord hath made his holy one wonderful: the Lord will hear me when I shall cry unto him.
Znajte: Jahve čudesno uzvisuje prijatelja svoga; Gospodin će me uslišiti kad ga zazovem.
4 Be angry, and sin not: the things you say in your hearts, be sorry for them upon your beds.
Promislite u srcima i ne griješite, dršćite na svojim ležajima i zanijemite.
5 Offer up the sacrifice of justice, and trust in the Lord: many say, Who sheweth us good things?
Prinesite žrtve pravedne, u Jahvu se uzdajte!
6 The light of thy countenance O Lord, is signed upon us: thou hast given gladness in my heart.
Mnogi govore: “Tko će nam pokazati sreću?” Obasjaj nas, Jahve, svjetlom svoga lica!
7 By the fruit of their corn, their wine and oil, they are multiplied.
Više si u srce moje ulio radosti nego kad obilno rode pšenica i vino.
8 In peace in the selfsame I will sleep, and I will rest: For thou, O Lord, singularly hast settled me in hope.
Čim legnem, odmah u miru i usnem, jer mi samo ti, o Jahve, daješ miran počinak.
