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.
Dawid dwom. Sɛ misu frɛ wo a, gye me so, me trenee Nyankopɔn. Ma me ɔhome wɔ mʼahohia mu; hu me mmɔbɔ na tie me mpaebɔ.
2 You sons of man, how long will you shame my honor, love what is worthless, chase after a lie? (Selah)
Enkosi da bɛn na mobɛdan mʼanuonyam ahohora? Enkosi da bɛn na mobɛdɔ nneɛma hunu na moadi ahoni ahuhuw akyi?
3 But know that Jehovah works wonders for his godly one; Jehovah will hear when I call to him.
Hu sɛ Awurade ayi nea ɔwɔ nyamesu ama ne ho; Awurade betie, sɛ misu mefrɛ no a.
4 Be angry, but do not sin. Ponder in your heart, but be at rest on your bed. (Selah)
Sɛ mo bo fuw a, monnyɛ bɔne; sɛ modeda mo mpa so a, monyɛ komm na monhwehwɛ mo koma mu.
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in Jehovah.
Mommɔ afɔre a ɛfata na momfa mo werɛ nhyɛ Awurade mu.
6 Many say, "Who will show us any good?" Jehovah, lift up the light of your face upon us.
Nnipa bebree bisa se: “Hena na ɔde yiyeyɛ bɛbrɛ yɛn?” Awurade, ma wʼanim hann no nhyerɛn yɛn so.
7 You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and wine and oil abound.
Fa anigye mmoroso hyɛ me koma ma bere a wɔn aburow ne nsa foforo abu so no.
8 In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you, Jehovah alone, make me live in safety.
Mɛtɔ hɔ, na mada asomdwoe mu, efisɛ wo nko ara, Awurade, na woma metena dwoodwoo. Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo sɛ wɔmfa atɛntɛbɛn nto.
