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.
Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Hampiarahina amin’ ny valiha. Salamo nataon’ i Davida. Raha miantso aho, mamalia ahy, ry Andriamanitry ny fahamarinako ô; Raha tao an-katerena aho, dia nohalalahinao toerana; Mamindrà fo amiko, ka henoy ny fivavako.
2 You sons of man, how long will you shame my honor, love what is worthless, chase after a lie? (Selah)
Ry lehibe, mandra-pahoviana no hataonareo ho henatra ny voninahitro, ary ho tia zava-poana sy hamoron-dainga ianareo? (Sela)
3 But know that the LORD works wonders for his godly one; the LORD will hear when I call to him.
Kanefa aoka ho fantatrareo fa efa navahan’ i Jehovah ho Azy ny tsara fanahy; Jehovah hihaino, raha miantso Azy aho.
4 Be angry, but do not sin. Ponder in your heart, but be at rest on your bed. (Selah)
Tezera, fa aza manota; mieritrereta eo am-pandrianareo, ka mangìna. (Sela)
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
Manatera fanati-pahamarinana, ary matokia an’ i Jehovah.
6 Many say, "Who will show us any good?" LORD, lift up the light of your face upon us.
Maro no niteny hoe: iza no haneho soa antsika? Asandrato aminay ny fahazavan’ ny tavanao, Jehovah ô.
7 You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and wine and oil abound.
Efa nasianao fifaliana ny foko mihoatra noho ny tamin’ ny taona nahabetsahan’ ny variny sy ny ranom-boalobony.
8 In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me live in safety.
Handry amin’ ny fiadanana aho, ka dia hatory miaraka amin’ izay, satria Hianao, Jehovah ô, no mampitoetra ahy mitokana irery tsy manana ahiahy.
