Psalms 4
1 For the music director. A psalm of David, to be accompanied by string instruments. When I call, please answer me, God who vindicates me. When I was hemmed in by troubles, you gave me a way out. Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.
Rhotoeng neh aka mawt ham David kah Tingtoenglung Ka duengnah Pathen te ka khue vaengah ka taengah nan doo tih, rhal khui lamkah kai te nan voelphoeng sak. Kai n'rhen lamtah ka thangthuinah he han ya lah.
2 How long will you people ruin my reputation? How long will you love what is worthless and tell lies? (Selah)
Hlang capa rhoek aw, kai thangpomnah te me hil nim mingthae la a om ve? A poeyoek te nim na lungnah uh vetih, laithae nim na tlap uh eh? (Selah)
3 You should realize that the Lord shows special favor to the faithful. The Lord listens when I call to him.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh hlangcim te amah ham a hoep tila ming lah. Amah te ka khue vaengah, BOEIPA loh a yaak ni.
4 Be in awe, do not sin. When you rest, reflect on this, and keep quiet! (Selah)
Na tlai nen khaw tholh uh boeh. Na thinko neh na thingkong dongah thui lamtah kuemsuem lah. (Selah)
5 Offer sacrifices with the right attitude. Trust in the Lord.
Duengnah hmueih te nawn lamtah BOEIPA dongah pangtung lah.
6 Many say, “Who is going to show us some good?” Lord, may your face shine upon us.
Ulae kaimih a then aka tueng thai eh aka ti khaw yet. Aw BOEIPA na maelhmai kah a aa neh, kaimih soah han tue lah.
7 The happiness you give me is better than those who have a plentiful harvest of grain and new wine.
Cangpai neh misur thai a thawt tue vaengkah lakah ka lungbuei ah kohoenah nan paek.
8 I will lie down in peace and sleep, for you, Lord, alone keep me safe.
BOEIPA nang bueng daengloh, kai he ngaikhuek la kho nan sak sak dongah, ngaimong la ka yalh vetih ka ih puei ni.
