< 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.
Aw ka dyngnaak Khawsa, ka nik khy awh ce oei lah. Ngaih kyi ing ka awm awh ngaihqepnak ni pe lah; nim qeen nawh kak cykcah awi ning ngai pe lah.
2 You sons of man, how long will you shame my honor, love what is worthless, chase after a lie? (Selah)
Aw thlangkhqi, ka boeimangnaak ve han dy awh nu chahqai na naming coeng hly sak hy voei? Han dy awh nu oek thawlhnaak ce lungna unawh, amak thym khawsa ce nami sui khak kaw?
3 But know that the LORD works wonders for his godly one; the LORD will hear when I call to him.
Bawipa ing amah ben awh ak ypawm thlangkhqi ce amah aham hoep hawh hy ti sim lah uh; kak khy awh Bawipa ing kak awi za kaw.
4 Be angry, but do not sin. Ponder in your heart, but be at rest on your bed. (Selah)
Namik kaw a sonaak awh koeh thawlh uh; ihkhun awh naming zaih awh namik kaw poek hqeet unawh awm dym uh.
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
Ak thym bulnaak ce nawn nawh Bawipa ce ypna lah.
6 Many say, "Who will show us any good?" LORD, lift up the light of your face upon us.
U ing nu them leek a nim huh lah voei?” thlang khawzah ing ti uhy. Aw Bawipa na haai vangnaak ce kak khanawh be sak lah.
7 You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and wine and oil abound.
Caang ingkaw misur thaih ami zen awhkaw zeelnaak anglakawh, kak kawlung ve zeelnaak ak bau soeih ing be sak khqpet hyk ti.
8 In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me live in safety.
Zaih nyng saw ngaihding cana ip hly hawh nyng; Aw Bawipa ka loetnaak taw nang doek khoeih ni.
