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.
Fún adarí orin. Pẹ̀lú ohun èlò orin olókùn. Saamu ti Dafidi. Dá mi lóhùn nígbà tí mo bá pè ọ́, ìwọ Ọlọ́run òdodo mi. Fún mi ní ìdáǹdè nínú ìpọ́njú mi; ṣàánú fún mi, kí o sì gbọ́ àdúrà mi.
2 How long will you people ruin my reputation? How long will you love what is worthless and tell lies? (Selah)
Báwo ni yóò ṣe pẹ́ tó, ẹ̀yin ọmọ ènìyàn, tí ẹ ó ṣe sọ ògo mi di ìtìjú? Báwo ni yóò ṣe pẹ́ tó, tí ẹ̀yin yóò ṣe fẹ́ràn ìtànjẹ àti tí ẹ̀yin yóò fi máa wá ọlọ́run èké?
3 You should realize that the Lord shows special favor to the faithful. The Lord listens when I call to him.
Ṣùgbọ́n kí ẹ mọ̀ pé, Olúwa ti ya ẹni olódodo sọ́tọ̀ fún ara rẹ̀; Olúwa yóò gbọ́ nígbà tí mo bá pè é.
4 Be in awe, do not sin. When you rest, reflect on this, and keep quiet! (Selah)
Ẹ bínú ẹ má ṣe ṣẹ̀, nígbà tí ẹ bá wà lórí ibùsùn yín, ẹ bá ọkàn yín sọ̀rọ̀, kí ó sì dákẹ́ jẹ́.
5 Offer sacrifices with the right attitude. Trust in the Lord.
Ẹ rú ẹbọ òdodo kí ẹ sì gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa.
6 Many say, “Who is going to show us some good?” Lord, may your face shine upon us.
Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ló ń béèrè pé, “Ta ni yóò ṣe rere fún wa?” Olúwa, jẹ́ kí ojú rẹ mọ́lẹ̀ sí wa lára,
7 The happiness you give me is better than those who have a plentiful harvest of grain and new wine.
Ìwọ ti fi ayọ̀ púpọ̀ kún ọkàn mi ju ìgbà tí hóró irúgbìn àti wáìnì tuntun wọ́n pọ̀ fún mi lọ.
8 I will lie down in peace and sleep, for you, Lord, alone keep me safe.
Èmi yóò dùbúlẹ̀, èmi ó sì sùn ní àlàáfíà, nítorí ìwọ nìkan, Olúwa, ni o mú mi gbé láìléwu.
