< Psalms 4 >
1 For the Leader; with string-music. A Psalm of David. Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness, Thou who didst set me free when I was in distress; be gracious unto me, and hear my prayer.
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe wa zida za zingwe. Salimo la Davide. Ndiyankheni pamene ndiyitana Inu, Inu Mulungu wa chilungamo changa. Pumulitseni ku zowawa zanga; chitireni chifundo ndi kumva pemphero langa.
2 O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be put to shame, in that ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? (Selah)
Anthu inu, mpaka liti mudzakhala mukusandutsa ulemerero wanga kukhala manyazi? Mpaka liti mudzakonda zachabe ndi kufuna milungu yabodza? (Sela)
3 But know that the LORD hath set apart the godly man as His own; the LORD will hear when I call unto Him.
Dziwani kuti Yehova wadziyikira padera anthu okhulupirika; Yehova adzamva pamene ndidzamuyitana.
4 Tremble, and sin not; commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
Kwiyani koma musachimwe; pamene muli pa mabedi anu, santhulani mitima yanu ndi kukhala chete. (Sela)
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
Perekani nsembe zolungama ndipo dalirani Yehova.
6 Many there are that say: 'Oh that we could see some good!' LORD, lift Thou up the light of Thy countenance upon us.
Ambiri akufunsa kuti, “Ndani angationetse chabwino chilichonse?” Kuwunika kwa nkhope yanu kutiwalire, Inu Yehova.
7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than when their corn and their wine increase.
Inu mwadzaza mtima wanga ndi chimwemwe chachikulu kuposa kuchuluka kwa tirigu wawo ndi vinyo watsopano.
8 In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; for Thou, LORD, makest me dwell alone in safety.
Ine ndidzagona ndi kupeza tulo mwamtendere, pakuti Inu nokha, Inu Yehova, mumandisamalira bwino.
