< Psalms 4 >
1 TO THE OVERSEER. WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. A PSALM OF DAVID. In my calling answer me, O God of my righteousness. In adversity You gave enlargement to me; Favor me, and hear my prayer.
Zborovođi. Uz žičana glazbala. Psalam. Davidov. Kad zazovem, usliši me, Bože, pravdo moja, ti što me u tjeskobi izbavÄi: smiluj mi se, usliši moju molitvu!
2 Sons of men! Until when [is] my glory for shame? You love a vain thing, you seek a lie. (Selah)
Sinovi čovječji, dokle će vam srca ostati tvrda? Zašto ispraznost ljubite, opsjenu slijedite?
3 And know that YHWH Has separated a saintly one to Himself. YHWH hears in my calling to Him.
Znajte: Jahve čudesno uzvisuje prijatelja svoga; Gospodin će me uslišiti kad ga zazovem.
4 “Tremble, and do not sin”; Say [thus] in your heart on your bed, And be silent. (Selah)
Promislite u srcima i ne griješite, dršćite na svojim ležajima i zanijemite.
5 Sacrifice sacrifices of righteousness, And trust in YHWH.
Prinesite žrtve pravedne, u Jahvu se uzdajte!
6 Many are saying, “Who shows us good?” Lift on us the light of Your face, O YHWH,
Mnogi govore: “Tko će nam pokazati sreću?” Obasjaj nas, Jahve, svjetlom svoga lica!
7 You have given joy in my heart, From the time their grain and their wine Have been multiplied.
Više si u srce moje ulio radosti nego kad obilno rode pšenica i vino.
8 Together I lie down and sleep in peace, For You, O YHWH, alone, Cause me to dwell in confidence!
Čim legnem, odmah u miru i usnem, jer mi samo ti, o Jahve, daješ miran počinak.
