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.
Kathutkung: Devit Oe lannae Cathut, na kaw toteh na thai pouh haw. Ka runae hah na hlai haw. Na pahren haw, ka ratoumnae hah na thai pouh haw.
2 You sons of man, how long will you shame my honor, love what is worthless, chase after a lie? (Selah)
Oe tami capanaw, ka bawilennae hah nâtotouh maw kayanae lah na coung sak awh han. Nâtotouh maw ayawmyin hno hah na lungpataw awh vaiteh, payonnae hah na tawng awh han. (Selah)
3 But know that YHWH works wonders for his godly one; YHWH will hear when I call to him.
BAWIPA ni cathutlae tami teh a rawi tie hah panuek awh haw. Ka kaw toteh BAWIPA ni na thai pouh han.
4 Be angry, but do not sin. Ponder in your heart, but be at rest on your bed. (Selah)
Na lungkhuek yawkaw, yonnae teh sak hanh. Na ikhun dawk na lung hoi pouk nateh duem awm.
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in YHWH.
Lannae thuengnae hah poe nateh, BAWIPA hah kâuep haw.
6 Many say, "Who will show us any good?" YHWH, lift up the light of your face upon us.
Apinimaw hawinae na hmusak han na ka tet pouh e moi ao awh. BAWIPA kaimouh koe na minhmai angnae hoi na tue haw.
7 You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and wine and oil abound.
Cakang hoi misur moikapap a hmu awh dawk konawmnae hlak kalenhnawn e konawmnae hah ka lung thung na ta toe.
8 In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you, YHWH alone, make me live in safety.
Duem ka yan vaiteh, ka i han toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Oe BAWIPA, nang ni dueng doeh karoumcalah na o sak thai.
