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.
Ngiphendula ekukhaleni kwami, Nkulunkulu wokulunga kwami. Ekucindezelweni wangenzela indawo ebanzi. Woba lomusa kimi, uzwe umkhuleko wami.
2 You sons of man, how long will you shame my honor, love what is worthless, chase after a lie? (Selah)
Madodana abantu, koze kube nini liphendula udumo lwami lube lihlazo, lithanda okuyize, lidinga amanga? (Sela)
3 But know that the LORD works wonders for his godly one; the LORD will hear when I call to him.
Kodwa yazini ukuthi iNkosi izehlukanisele owesaba uNkulunkulu; iNkosi iyangizwa lapho ngikhala kuyo.
4 Be angry, but do not sin. Ponder in your heart, but be at rest on your bed. (Selah)
Thuthumelani, lingoni; khulumani lenhliziyo yenu embhedeni wenu, lithule. (Sela)
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
Nikelani imihlatshelo yokulunga, lithembe eNkosini.
6 Many say, "Who will show us any good?" LORD, lift up the light of your face upon us.
Banengi abathi: Ngubani ozasitshengisa okuhle? Nkosi, phakamisela ukukhanya kobuso bakho phezu kwethu.
7 You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and wine and oil abound.
Ubeke intokozo enhliziyweni yami okwedlula isikhathi lapho amabele abo lewayini labo elitsha kwandile.
8 In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me live in safety.
Ngizacambalala ngokuthula, khonokho ngilale ubuthongo, ngoba wena Nkosi wedwa uyangihlalisa ngokulondolozeka.
