Psalms 4
1 God, answer me when I pray to you. You are the one who vindicates me; Rescue me from things that distress me. Act mercifully toward me, and listen to me while I pray.
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 How long will you people cause me to be disgraced instead of honoring me [RHQ]? You [people] love to falsely accuse me.
Sinovi čovječji, dokle će vam srca ostati tvrda? Zašto ispraznost ljubite, opsjenu slijedite?
3 All those who are loyal to Yahweh, he has chosen them to belong to him. Yahweh listens to me when I pray to him.
Znajte: Jahve čudesno uzvisuje prijatelja svoga; Gospodin će me uslišiti kad ga zazovem.
4 When you people get angry, do not [allow your anger to control you and cause you to] sin. While you lie on your bed, silently examine what you are thinking.
Promislite u srcima i ne griješite, dršćite na svojim ležajima i zanijemite.
5 Also, offer to Yahweh the proper sacrifices, and continue trusting in him.
Prinesite žrtve pravedne, u Jahvu se uzdajte!
6 Some people ask, “Who will allow good things to happen to us?” [But I say], “Yahweh, continue to act kindly toward us.
Mnogi govore: “Tko će nam pokazati sreću?” Obasjaj nas, Jahve, svjetlom svoga lica!
7 You have made me very happy; I am happier than people who have harvested a great amount of grain and grapes.
Više si u srce moje ulio radosti nego kad obilno rode pšenica i vino.
8 I can lie down [at night] and sleep soundly because [I know that] you, Yahweh, will keep me safe.”
Čim legnem, odmah u miru i usnem, jer mi samo ti, o Jahve, daješ miran počinak.
