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.
Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi Nekinoto. He himene na Rawiri. Whakahokia mai he kupu ki ahau, e te Atua o toku tika, ina karanga ahau: i ahau i te pouri i whakaputaina ahau e koe; kia atawhai ki ahau, whakarongo ki taku inoi.
2 O ye sonnes of men, howe long will yee turne my glory into shame, louing vanitie, and seeking lyes? (Selah)
E nga tama a te tangata, kia pehea te roa o ta koutou mea i toku kororia hei whakama, o ta koutou aroha ki te horihori, o ta koutou whai i te teka? (Hera)
3 For be ye sure that the Lord hath chosen to himselfe a godly man: the Lord will heare when I call vnto him.
Otiia kia mohio koutou he mea momotu ke na Ihowa te tangata tapu mana: e whakarongo a Ihowa ua karanga ahau ki a ia.
4 Tremble, and sinne not: examine your owne heart vpon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
Kia oho koutou, a kaua e hara: korerorero ki o koutou ngakau i runga i o koutou moenga, me te ata takoto ano. (Hera)
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousnes, and trust in the Lord.
Patua nga whakahere o te tika, me te okioki ano ki a Ihowa.
6 Many say, Who will shewe vs any good? but Lord, lift vp the light of thy countenance vpon vs.
He tokomaha te mea ana, Ma wai e whakakite te pai ki a matou? Kia ara, e Ihowa, te marama o tou mata ki runga ki a matou.
7 Thou hast giuen mee more ioye of heart, then they haue had, when their wheate and their wine did abound.
Hira ake te hari i homai e koe ki roto ki toku ngakau i to ratou i te wa i hua ai a ratou witi, ta ratou waina.
8 I will lay mee downe, and also sleepe in peace: for thou, Lord, onely makest me dwell in safetie.
Ka takoto marire ahau, a moe tonu iho: ko koe anake hoki, e Ihowa, hei mea kia au toku noho.
