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.
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 How long will you people ruin my reputation? How long will you love what is worthless and tell lies? (Selah)
Sinovi čovječji, dokle će vam srca ostati tvrda? Zašto ispraznost ljubite, opsjenu slijedite?
3 You should realize that the Lord shows special favor to the faithful. The Lord listens when I call to him.
Znajte: Jahve čudesno uzvisuje prijatelja svoga; Gospodin će me uslišiti kad ga zazovem.
4 Be in awe, do not sin. When you rest, reflect on this, and keep quiet! (Selah)
Promislite u srcima i ne griješite, dršćite na svojim ležajima i zanijemite.
5 Offer sacrifices with the right attitude. Trust in the Lord.
Prinesite žrtve pravedne, u Jahvu se uzdajte!
6 Many say, “Who is going to show us some good?” Lord, may your face shine upon us.
Mnogi govore: “Tko će nam pokazati sreću?” Obasjaj nas, Jahve, svjetlom svoga lica!
7 The happiness you give me is better than those who have a plentiful harvest of grain and new wine.
Više si u srce moje ulio radosti nego kad obilno rode pšenica i vino.
8 I will lie down in peace and sleep, for you, Lord, alone keep me safe.
Čim legnem, odmah u miru i usnem, jer mi samo ti, o Jahve, daješ miran počinak.
