< Psalms 4 >
1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm of David. Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
Poslušaj me, kadar kličem, oh Bog moje pravičnosti. Osvobodil si me, ko sem bil v stiski, usmili se me in usliši mojo molitev.
2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? (Selah)
Oh vi človeški sinovi, doklej boste mojo slavo spreminjali v sramoto? Kako dolgo boste ljubili prazne reči in iskali laž? (Sela)
3 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call to him.
Toda vedite, da je Gospod zase oddvojil tistega, ki je bogaboječ. Gospod bo slišal, kadar kličem k njemu.
4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
Stoj v strahospoštovanju in ne greši. Na svoji postelji se posvetuj s svojim lastnim srcem in miruj. (Sela)
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
Daruj klavne daritve pravičnosti in svoje trdno upanje položi v Gospoda.
6 There are many that say, Who will show us any good? LORD, lift thou upon us the light of thy countenance.
Mnogi so, ki pravijo: »Kdo nam bo pokazal karkoli dobrega?« Gospod, dvigni nad nami svetlobo svojega obličja.
7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time when their grain and their wine increased.
V moje srce si položil veselje, več kot v času, ko je naraslo njihovo žito in njihovo vino.
8 I will both lie down in peace, and sleep: for thou only, LORD, makest me dwell in safety.
V miru se bom ulegel in spal. Kajti samo ti, Gospod, mi daješ prebivati na varnem.
