Psalms 4
1 For the chief musician; on stringed instruments. A psalm of David. Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness; give me room when I am hemmed in. Have mercy on me and listen to 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 people, how long will you turn my honor into shame? How long will you love that which is worthless and seek after lies? (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 Yahweh sets apart the godly for himself. Yahweh 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 Tremble in fear, but do not sin! Meditate in your heart on your bed and be silent. (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 Yahweh.
Lannae thuengnae hah poe nateh, BAWIPA hah kâuep haw.
6 Many say, “Who will show us anything good?” Yahweh, lift up the light of your face on 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 given my heart more gladness than others have when their grain and new wine abound.
Cakang hoi misur moikapap a hmu awh dawk konawmnae hlak kalenhnawn e konawmnae hah ka lung thung na ta toe.
8 It is in peace that I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Yahweh, make me safe and secure.
Duem ka yan vaiteh, ka i han toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Oe BAWIPA, nang ni dueng doeh karoumcalah na o sak thai.
