< Psalms 4 >

1 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm by David. Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. Give me relief from my distress. Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
Fún adarí orin. Pẹ̀lú ohun èlò orin olókùn. Saamu ti Dafidi. Dá mi lóhùn nígbà tí mo bá pè ọ́, ìwọ Ọlọ́run òdodo mi. Fún mi ní ìdáǹdè nínú ìpọ́njú mi; ṣàánú fún mi, kí o sì gbọ́ àdúrà mi.
2 You sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonour? Will you love vanity and seek after falsehood? (Selah)
Báwo ni yóò ṣe pẹ́ tó, ẹ̀yin ọmọ ènìyàn, tí ẹ ó ṣe sọ ògo mi di ìtìjú? Báwo ni yóò ṣe pẹ́ tó, tí ẹ̀yin yóò ṣe fẹ́ràn ìtànjẹ àti tí ẹ̀yin yóò fi máa wá ọlọ́run èké?
3 But know that the LORD has set apart for himself him who is godly; The LORD will hear when I call to him.
Ṣùgbọ́n kí ẹ mọ̀ pé, Olúwa ti ya ẹni olódodo sọ́tọ̀ fún ara rẹ̀; Olúwa yóò gbọ́ nígbà tí mo bá pè é.
4 Stand in awe, and don’t sin. Search your own heart on your bed, and be still. (Selah)
Ẹ bínú ẹ má ṣe ṣẹ̀, nígbà tí ẹ bá wà lórí ibùsùn yín, ẹ bá ọkàn yín sọ̀rọ̀, kí ó sì dákẹ́ jẹ́.
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness. Put your trust in the LORD.
Ẹ rú ẹbọ òdodo kí ẹ sì gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa.
6 Many say, “Who will show us any good?” LORD, let the light of your face shine on us.
Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ló ń béèrè pé, “Ta ni yóò ṣe rere fún wa?” Olúwa, jẹ́ kí ojú rẹ mọ́lẹ̀ sí wa lára,
7 You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.
Ìwọ ti fi ayọ̀ púpọ̀ kún ọkàn mi ju ìgbà tí hóró irúgbìn àti wáìnì tuntun wọ́n pọ̀ fún mi lọ.
8 In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me live in safety.
Èmi yóò dùbúlẹ̀, èmi ó sì sùn ní àlàáfíà, nítorí ìwọ nìkan, Olúwa, ni o mú mi gbé láìléwu.
