< Psalms 4 >

1 [For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm by David.] Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. You set me free in my distress. Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.
Rhotoeng neh aka mawt ham David kah Tingtoenglung Ka duengnah Pathen te ka khue vaengah ka taengah nan doo tih, rhal khui lamkah kai te nan voelphoeng sak. Kai n'rhen lamtah ka thangthuinah he han ya lah.
2 You sons of man, how long will you shame my honor, love what is worthless, chase after a lie? (Selah)
Hlang capa rhoek aw, kai thangpomnah te me hil nim mingthae la a om ve? A poeyoek te nim na lungnah uh vetih, laithae nim na tlap uh eh? (Selah)
3 But know that Jehovah works wonders for his godly one; Jehovah will hear when I call to him.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh hlangcim te amah ham a hoep tila ming lah. Amah te ka khue vaengah, BOEIPA loh a yaak ni.
4 Be angry, but do not sin. Ponder in your heart, but be at rest on your bed. (Selah)
Na tlai nen khaw tholh uh boeh. Na thinko neh na thingkong dongah thui lamtah kuemsuem lah. (Selah)
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in Jehovah.
Duengnah hmueih te nawn lamtah BOEIPA dongah pangtung lah.
6 Many say, "Who will show us any good?" Jehovah, lift up the light of your face upon us.
Ulae kaimih a then aka tueng thai eh aka ti khaw yet. Aw BOEIPA na maelhmai kah a aa neh, kaimih soah han tue lah.
7 You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and wine and oil abound.
Cangpai neh misur thai a thawt tue vaengkah lakah ka lungbuei ah kohoenah nan paek.
8 In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you, Jehovah alone, make me live in safety.
BOEIPA nang bueng daengloh, kai he ngaikhuek la kho nan sak sak dongah, ngaimong la ka yalh vetih ka ih puei ni.
