< 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.
Poslušaj me, kadar kličem, oh Bog moje pravičnosti. Osvobodil si me, ko sem bil v stiski, usmili se me in usliši mojo molitev.
2 O ye sonnes of men, howe long will yee turne my glory into shame, louing vanitie, and seeking lyes? (Selah)
Oh vi človeški sinovi, doklej boste mojo slavo spreminjali v sramoto? Kako dolgo boste ljubili prazne reči in iskali laž? (Sela)
3 For be ye sure that the Lord hath chosen to himselfe a godly man: the Lord will heare when I call vnto him.
Toda vedite, da je Gospod zase oddvojil tistega, ki je bogaboječ. Gospod bo slišal, kadar kličem k njemu.
4 Tremble, and sinne not: examine your owne heart vpon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
Stoj v strahospoštovanju in ne greši. Na svoji postelji se posvetuj s svojim lastnim srcem in miruj. (Sela)
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousnes, and trust in the Lord.
Daruj klavne daritve pravičnosti in svoje trdno upanje položi v Gospoda.
6 Many say, Who will shewe vs any good? but Lord, lift vp the light of thy countenance vpon vs.
Mnogi so, ki pravijo: »Kdo nam bo pokazal karkoli dobrega?« Gospod, dvigni nad nami svetlobo svojega obličja.
7 Thou hast giuen mee more ioye of heart, then they haue had, when their wheate and their wine did abound.
V moje srce si položil veselje, več kot v času, ko je naraslo njihovo žito in njihovo vino.
8 I will lay mee downe, and also sleepe in peace: for thou, Lord, onely makest me dwell in safetie.
V miru se bom ulegel in spal. Kajti samo ti, Gospod, mi daješ prebivati na varnem.
