< 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.
Kuom jatend wer. Miwero gi gig wer man-gi tondegi. Zaburi mar Daudi. Ka aluongi to yie idwoka, yaye Nyasacha makare. Konya e lit momako chunya; yie ikecha kendo iwinj lamona.
2 Sons of men! Until when [is] my glory for shame? You love a vain thing, you seek a lie. (Selah)
Yaye, ubiro chayo duongʼ ka ukuodo wiya nyaka karangʼo? Ubiro hero gik manono kendo luwo nyiseche manono nyaka karangʼo? (Sela)
3 And know that YHWH Has separated a saintly one to Himself. YHWH hears in my calling to Him.
Ngʼeuru ni Jehova Nyasaye oseyiera mondo abed mare owuon; kendo Jehova Nyasaye winja, ka aluonge.
4 “Tremble, and do not sin”; Say [thus] in your heart on your bed, And be silent. (Selah)
Ka iu owangʼ to kik utim richo; seche ma uyweyo mos e kitandau, to nonuru chunyu ka ulingʼ mos, keturu chunyu mos ka unindo e kitandau. (Sela)
5 Sacrifice sacrifices of righteousness, And trust in YHWH.
Chiwuru misengini mowinjore kendo genuru kuom Jehova Nyasaye.
6 Many are saying, “Who shows us good?” Lift on us the light of Your face, O YHWH,
Ji mangʼeny penjo niya, “En ngʼa manyalo timonwa gimoro maber?” Mad ler moa e lela wangʼi rieny kuomwa, yaye Jehova Nyasaye.
7 You have given joy in my heart, From the time their grain and their wine Have been multiplied.
Isepongʼo chunya gi mor maduongʼ moloyo mor ma gin-go e kinde ma gin-gi cham kod divai mangʼeny.
8 Together I lie down and sleep in peace, For You, O YHWH, alone, Cause me to dwell in confidence!
Abiro riera piny mi anind gi kwe, nikech in kendi, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, in ema imiyo adak gi kwe.
