Psalms 4
1 To the Chief Musician: with stringed instruments. A Melody of David. When I cry, answer me, O mine own righteous God, In a strait place, thou hast made room for me, Show me favour, and hear my prayer.
Zborovođi. Uz žičana glazbala. Psalam. Davidov. Kad zazovem, usliši me, Bože, pravdo moja, ti što me u tjeskobi izbavÄi: smiluj mi se, usliši moju molitvu!
2 Ye sons of the great! how long, turning my glory to contempt, will ye love emptiness, will ye seek falsehood? (Selah)
Sinovi čovječji, dokle će vam srca ostati tvrda? Zašto ispraznost ljubite, opsjenu slijedite?
3 Know ye, then, that Yahweh hath set apart the man of lovingkindness for himself: Yahweh, will hear, when I cry to him.
Znajte: Jahve čudesno uzvisuje prijatelja svoga; Gospodin će me uslišiti kad ga zazovem.
4 Be deeply moved, but do not sin, —Ponder in your own heart upon your bed, and be silent. (Selah)
Promislite u srcima i ne griješite, dršćite na svojim ležajima i zanijemite.
5 Sacrifice the sacrifices of righteousness; and put your trust in Yahweh.
Prinesite žrtve pravedne, u Jahvu se uzdajte!
6 Multitudes, are saying, Who will show us prosperity? Lift thou upon us the light of thy countenance, O Yahweh.
Mnogi govore: “Tko će nam pokazati sreću?” Obasjaj nas, Jahve, svjetlom svoga lica!
7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, —beyond the season when, their corn and their new wine, have increased.
Više si u srce moje ulio radosti nego kad obilno rode pšenica i vino.
8 In peace, will I lay me down and at once sleep; for, thou, Yahweh alone, wilt cause me, in security, to dwell.
Čim legnem, odmah u miru i usnem, jer mi samo ti, o Jahve, daješ miran počinak.
