< Psalms 4 >

1 “To the chief musician on Neginoth, a psalm of David.” When I call, answer me, O God of my righteousness: amidst distress thou hast [ever] granted me enlargement; be gracious unto me, and hear my prayer.
لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ عَلَى «ذَوَاتِ ٱلْأَوْتَارِ». مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ عِنْدَ دُعَائِيَ ٱسْتَجِبْ لِي يَا إِلَهَ بِرِّي. فِي ٱلضِّيقِ رَحَّبْتَ لِي. تَرَاءَفْ عَلَيَّ وَٱسْمَعْ صَلَاتِي.١
2 O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be put to shame? [how long] will ye love vanity, will ye seek for lies? (Selah)
يَا بَنِي ٱلْبَشَرِ، حَتَّى مَتَى يَكُونُ مَجْدِي عَارًا؟ حَتَّى مَتَى تُحِبُّونَ ٱلْبَاطِلَ وَتَبْتَغُونَ ٱلْكَذِبَ؟ سِلَاهْ.٢
3 But know that the Lord hath set apart the pious for himself: the Lord will hear when I call on him.
فَٱعْلَمُوا أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ مَيَّزَ تَقِيَّهُ. ٱلرَّبُّ يَسْمَعُ عِنْدَ مَا أَدْعُوهُ.٣
4 Tremble, and sin not: commune with your heart upon your bed, and be still (Selah)
اِرْتَعِدُوا وَلَا تُخْطِئُوا. تَكَلَّمُوا فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ عَلَى مَضَاجِعِكُمْ وَٱسْكُتُوا. سِلَاهْ.٤
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the Lord.
اِذْبَحُوا ذَبَائِحَ ٱلْبِرِّ، وَتَوَكَّلُوا عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ.٥
6 Many say, “Who will show us happiness? Let shine brightly over us the light of thy countenance, O Lord.”
كَثِيرُونَ يَقُولُونَ: «مَنْ يُرِينَا خَيْرًا؟». ٱرْفَعْ عَلَيْنَا نُورَ وَجْهِكَ يَارَبُّ.٦
7 [But] thou hast placed more joy in my heart than at the time when their corn and their wine were increased.
جَعَلْتَ سُرُورًا فِي قَلْبِي أَعْظَمَ مِنْ سُرُورِهِمْ إِذْ كَثُرَتْ حِنْطَتُهُمْ وَخَمْرُهُمْ.٧
8 In peace, altogether, will I lay me down and sleep; for thou, Lord, alone, causest me to dwell in safety.
بِسَلَامَةٍ أَضْطَجِعُ بَلْ أَيْضًا أَنَامُ، لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ مُنْفَرِدًا فِي طُمَأْنِينَةٍ تُسَكِّنُنِي.٨
