Psalms 4
1 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
Ngiphendula ekukhaleni kwami, Nkulunkulu wokulunga kwami. Ekucindezelweni wangenzela indawo ebanzi. Woba lomusa kimi, uzwe umkhuleko wami.
2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after a lie? (Selah)
Madodana abantu, koze kube nini liphendula udumo lwami lube lihlazo, lithanda okuyize, lidinga amanga? (Sela)
3 But know that Yhwh hath set apart him that is godly for himself: Yhwh will hear when I call unto him.
Kodwa yazini ukuthi iNkosi izehlukanisele owesaba uNkulunkulu; iNkosi iyangizwa lapho ngikhala kuyo.
4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
Thuthumelani, lingoni; khulumani lenhliziyo yenu embhedeni wenu, lithule. (Sela)
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in Yhwh.
Nikelani imihlatshelo yokulunga, lithembe eNkosini.
6 There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? Yhwh, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
Banengi abathi: Ngubani ozasitshengisa okuhle? Nkosi, phakamisela ukukhanya kobuso bakho phezu kwethu.
7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their grain and their wine increased.
Ubeke intokozo enhliziyweni yami okwedlula isikhathi lapho amabele abo lewayini labo elitsha kwandile.
8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Yhwh, only makest me dwell in safety.
Ngizacambalala ngokuthula, khonokho ngilale ubuthongo, ngoba wena Nkosi wedwa uyangihlalisa ngokulondolozeka.
