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.
Kumutungamiri wenziyo nemitengeranwa. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Ndipindurei pandinodana kwamuri, imi Mwari wangu makarurama. Ndisunungurei pakutambudzika kwangu; ndinzwirei ngoni uye munzwe munyengetero wangu.
2 How long will you people ruin my reputation? How long will you love what is worthless and tell lies? (Selah)
Nhai imi vanhu, muchashandura kukudzwa kwangu kukava chinyadziso kusvikira riniko? Muchada kutsauswa nokutsvaka vamwari venhema kusvikira riniko? Sera
3 You should realize that the Lord shows special favor to the faithful. The Lord listens when I call to him.
Zivai kuti Jehovha akazvitsaurira vanomuda; Jehovha achandinzwa pandinodana kwaari.
4 Be in awe, do not sin. When you rest, reflect on this, and keep quiet! (Selah)
Pakutsamwa kwenyu, regai kutadza; pamunenge muri pamibhedha yenyu, nzverai mwoyo yenyu uye munyarare. Sera
5 Offer sacrifices with the right attitude. Trust in the Lord.
Ipai zvibayiro zvakarurama uye muvimbe naJehovha.
6 Many say, “Who is going to show us some good?” Lord, may your face shine upon us.
Vazhinji vanobvunza vachiti, “Ndianiko angatiratidza chakanaka?” Chiedza chechiso chenyu ngachipenye pamusoro pedu, imi Jehovha.
7 The happiness you give me is better than those who have a plentiful harvest of grain and new wine.
Makazadza mwoyo wangu nomufaro mukuru kupfuura zviyo zvavo newaini yavo itsva yakawanda.
8 I will lie down in peace and sleep, for you, Lord, alone keep me safe.
Ndichavata pasi ndigokotsira norugare, nokuti imi moga, Jehovha, munoita kuti ndigare pakasimba.
