Psalms 4
1 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: you have enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
Til Sangmesteren. Med Strengespil. En Salme af David.
2 O you sons of men, how long will you turn my glory into shame? how long will you love vanity, and seek after leasing? (Selah)
Svar, naar jeg raaber, min Retfærds Gud! I Trængsel skaffede du mig Rum. Vær naadig og hør min Bøn!
3 But know that the LORD has set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call to him.
Hvor længe, I Mænd, skal min Ære skændes? Hvor længe vil I elske Tomhed, søge Løgn? (Sela)
4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart on your bed, and be still. (Selah)
Vid dog, at HERREN er mig underfuldt god; naar jeg paakalder HERREN, hører han mig.
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
Vredes kun, men forsynd eder ikke, tænk efter paa eders Leje og ti! (Sela)
6 There be many that say, Who will show us any good? LORD, lift you up the light of your countenance on us.
Bring rette Ofre og stol paa HERREN!
7 You have put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.
Mange siger: »Hvo bringer os Lykke?« Opløft paa os dit Aasyns Lys!
8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for you, LORD, only make me dwell in safety.
HERRE, du skænked mit Hjerte en Glæde, større end deres, da Korn og Most flød over. I Fred gaar jeg til Hvile og slumrer straks, thi, HERRE, du lader mig bo alene i Tryghed.
