< Psalms 4 >
1 “For the leader of the music; to be accompanied with stringed instruments. A psalm of David.” Hear me, when I call, O God of my righteousness! Thou hast helped me, when I was in trouble, —Have pity upon me, and hear my prayer!
Rhotoeng neh aka mawt ham David kah Tingtoenglung Ka duengnah Pathen te ka khue vaengah ka taengah nan doo tih, rhal khui lamkah kai te nan voelphoeng sak. Kai n'rhen lamtah ka thangthuinah he han ya lah.
2 How long, O men! will ye dishonor my dignity? How long will ye love vanity, and seek disappointment? (Pause)
Hlang capa rhoek aw, kai thangpomnah te me hil nim mingthae la a om ve? A poeyoek te nim na lungnah uh vetih, laithae nim na tlap uh eh? (Selah)
3 Know ye that the LORD hath exalted one that is devoted to him; The LORD will hear, when I call upon him.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh hlangcim te amah ham a hoep tila ming lah. Amah te ka khue vaengah, BOEIPA loh a yaak ni.
4 Stand in awe, and sin no more; Commune with your hearts upon your beds, and desist! (Pause)
Na tlai nen khaw tholh uh boeh. Na thinko neh na thingkong dongah thui lamtah kuemsuem lah. (Selah)
5 Offer sacrifices of righteousness, And put your trust in the LORD!
Duengnah hmueih te nawn lamtah BOEIPA dongah pangtung lah.
6 There are many who say, Who will show us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us!
Ulae kaimih a then aka tueng thai eh aka ti khaw yet. Aw BOEIPA na maelhmai kah a aa neh, kaimih soah han tue lah.
7 Thou puttest gladness into my heart, Greater than theirs, when their corn and wine are abundant.
Cangpai neh misur thai a thawt tue vaengkah lakah ka lungbuei ah kohoenah nan paek.
8 I will lay me down in peace, and sleep: For thou alone, O LORD! makest me dwell in safety.
BOEIPA nang bueng daengloh, kai he ngaikhuek la kho nan sak sak dongah, ngaimong la ka yalh vetih ka ih puei ni.
