< 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.
Ry Andrianañaharen-kavañonako toiño iraho te mikanjy Azo fa Ihe ty nañivake ho ahy te nalovilovy; isoho vaho janjiño o halalikoo.
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)
O ry ana’ondatio, Sikala ‘mbia ro hafote’ areo ho inje ty asiko? ty hikoko ty tsy vente’e, hitsoeke ty famañahiañe? Selà
3 But know that Yahweh sets apart the godly for himself. Yahweh will hear when I call to him.
Fe fohino te navaha’ Iehovà ho ama’e i vañoñey; ho janjiñe’ Iehovà te kanjieko.
4 Tremble in fear, but do not sin! Meditate in your heart on your bed and be silent. (Selah)
Minevenevera, le ko mandilatse; mañereñerea añ’arofo an-tihi’o eo, vaho mianjiña. Selà
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness and put your trust in Yahweh.
Mañengà soron-kavantañañe, vaho miatoa am’Iehovà.
6 Many say, “Who will show us anything good?” Yahweh, lift up the light of your face on us.
Maro ty mivola: Ia ty hampiboake hasoa amantika? Ry Iehovà, onjono ama’ay ty hazavan-dahara’o.
7 You have given my heart more gladness than others have when their grain and new wine abound.
Ihe nampipoke haehake an-troko ao, mandikoatse te an-tsàm-pamokara’ iareo ampemba naho divay.
8 It is in peace that I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Yahweh, make me safe and secure.
Hàndre an-kanintsin-draho le hiroro amy te Ihe avao ry Iehovà ro mampimoneñe ahy am-pitsolohañe.
