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.
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ngeziginci. Ihubo likaDavida. Ngiphendula lapho ngikubiza, Oh Nkulunkulu wami olungileyo. Ake ungiphumuze ekuhlulukelweni engikukho; woba lomusa kimi njalo uzwe umkhuleko wami.
2 O ye sonnes of men, howe long will yee turne my glory into shame, louing vanitie, and seeking lyes? (Selah)
Koze kube nini, we bantu, koze kube nini inkazimulo yami liyenza ihlazo? Koze kube nini lithanda inkohliso njalo lidinga onkulunkulu bamanga?
3 For be ye sure that the Lord hath chosen to himselfe a godly man: the Lord will heare when I call vnto him.
Yazini ukuthi uThixo usezehlukanisele labo abathembekileyo, njalo uThixo uyezwa nxa ngikhala kuye.
4 Tremble, and sinne not: examine your owne heart vpon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
Ekuthukutheleni kwenu lingoni; nxa lisemibhedeni yenu hlolani inhliziyo zenu, lithule.
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousnes, and trust in the Lord.
Nikelani imihlatshelo eqondileyo, limethembe uThixo.
6 Many say, Who will shewe vs any good? but Lord, lift vp the light of thy countenance vpon vs.
Abanengi bayabuza bathi, “Kuvele ngubani ongasitshengisa ukulunga na?” Sengathi ukukhanya kobuso bakho kungakhazimula phezu kwethu, Oh Thixo.
7 Thou hast giuen mee more ioye of heart, then they haue had, when their wheate and their wine did abound.
Uyigcwalisile inhliziyo yami ngentokozo enkulu eyedlula ubunengi bamabele abo lewayini labo elitsha.
8 I will lay mee downe, and also sleepe in peace: for thou, Lord, onely makest me dwell in safetie.
Ngizalala phansi ngijunywe yibuthongo ngilokuthula, ngoba wena wedwa, Oh Thixo, uhlezi ungilondolozile.
