< 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.
Kuom jatend wer. Miwero gi gig wer man-gi tondegi. Zaburi mar Daudi. Ka aluongi to yie idwoka, yaye Nyasacha makare. Konya e lit momako chunya; yie ikecha kendo iwinj lamona.
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)
Yaye, ubiro chayo duongʼ ka ukuodo wiya nyaka karangʼo? Ubiro hero gik manono kendo luwo nyiseche manono nyaka karangʼo? (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.
Ngʼeuru ni Jehova Nyasaye oseyiera mondo abed mare owuon; kendo Jehova Nyasaye winja, ka aluonge.
4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
Ka iu owangʼ to kik utim richo; seche ma uyweyo mos e kitandau, to nonuru chunyu ka ulingʼ mos, keturu chunyu mos ka unindo e kitandau. (Sela)
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
Chiwuru misengini mowinjore kendo genuru kuom Jehova Nyasaye.
6 [There are] many that say, Who will show us [any] good? LORD, lift thou upon us the light of thy countenance.
Ji mangʼeny penjo niya, “En ngʼa manyalo timonwa gimoro maber?” Mad ler moa e lela wangʼi rieny kuomwa, yaye Jehova Nyasaye.
7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time [when] their corn and their wine increased.
Isepongʼo chunya gi mor maduongʼ moloyo mor ma gin-go e kinde ma gin-gi cham kod divai mangʼeny.
8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep; for thou only, LORD, makest me dwell in safety.
Abiro riera piny mi anind gi kwe, nikech in kendi, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, in ema imiyo adak gi kwe.
