< 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.
Poslušaj me, kadar kličem, oh Bog moje pravičnosti. Osvobodil si me, ko sem bil v stiski, usmili se me in usliši mojo molitev.
2 Sons of men! Until when [is] my glory for shame? You love a vain thing, you seek a lie. (Selah)
Oh vi človeški sinovi, doklej boste mojo slavo spreminjali v sramoto? Kako dolgo boste ljubili prazne reči in iskali laž? (Sela)
3 And know that YHWH Has separated a saintly one to Himself. YHWH hears in my calling to Him.
Toda vedite, da je Gospod zase oddvojil tistega, ki je bogaboječ. Gospod bo slišal, kadar kličem k njemu.
4 “Tremble, and do not sin”; Say [thus] in your heart on your bed, And be silent. (Selah)
Stoj v strahospoštovanju in ne greši. Na svoji postelji se posvetuj s svojim lastnim srcem in miruj. (Sela)
5 Sacrifice sacrifices of righteousness, And trust in YHWH.
Daruj klavne daritve pravičnosti in svoje trdno upanje položi v Gospoda.
6 Many are saying, “Who shows us good?” Lift on us the light of Your face, O YHWH,
Mnogi so, ki pravijo: »Kdo nam bo pokazal karkoli dobrega?« Gospod, dvigni nad nami svetlobo svojega obličja.
7 You have given joy in my heart, From the time their grain and their wine Have been multiplied.
V moje srce si položil veselje, več kot v času, ko je naraslo njihovo žito in njihovo vino.
8 Together I lie down and sleep in peace, For You, O YHWH, alone, Cause me to dwell in confidence!
V miru se bom ulegel in spal. Kajti samo ti, Gospod, mi daješ prebivati na varnem.
