Psalms 4
1 To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme of Dauid. Heare me when I call, O God of my righteousnes: thou hast set me at libertie, when I was in distresse: haue mercie vpon me and hearken vnto my prayer.
Pou chèf sanba yo. Se sou enstriman akòd pou yo jwe mizik la. Se yon sòm David. Lè m' rele ou, reponn mwen non, Bondye, ou menm k'ap fè m' jistis! Lè m' te nan tèt chaje, ou te vin ede m'. Gen pitye pou mwen. Koute lapriyè mwen.
2 O ye sonnes of men, howe long will yee turne my glory into shame, louing vanitie, and seeking lyes? (Selah)
Nou menm menm lèzòm, kilè n'a sispann trennen non m' nan labou! Kilè n'a sispann renmen bagay ki pa vo anyen! Kilè n'a sispann kouri dèyè bagay ki pa vre!
3 For be ye sure that the Lord hath chosen to himselfe a godly man: the Lord will heare when I call vnto him.
Pa bliye, se Seyè a ki chwazi m' pou moun pa li. Seyè a tande m' lè mwen rele l'.
4 Tremble, and sinne not: examine your owne heart vpon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
Se pou nou tranble tèlman nou pè, se pou n' sispann fè sa ki mal. Lè nou pou kont nou nan chanm nou, kalkile sou sa. Epi pe bouch nou.
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousnes, and trust in the Lord.
Ofri bèt Seyè a mande pou yo touye pou li. Mete konfyans nou nan li!
6 Many say, Who will shewe vs any good? but Lord, lift vp the light of thy countenance vpon vs.
Gen anpil moun k'ap di: -Jan nou ta renmen Bondye beni nou! Tanpri, Seyè, fè nou santi ou la avèk nou!
7 Thou hast giuen mee more ioye of heart, then they haue had, when their wheate and their wine did abound.
Kontantman ou mete nan kè m' pi gwo pase kontantman ki nan kè lèzòm lè yo gen anpil manje ak anpil bwason.
8 I will lay mee downe, and also sleepe in peace: for thou, Lord, onely makest me dwell in safetie.
Mwen moute kabann mwen ak kè poze. Kou m' kouche, dòmi pran m'. Seyè, se ou menm sèl ki p'ap janm kite anyen rive m'.
