< Psalms 4 >

1 To the Overseer with Stringed Instruments. — A Psalm of David. In my calling answer Thou me, O God of my righteousness. In adversity Thou gavest enlargement to me; Favour me, and hear my prayer.
لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ عَلَى «ذَوَاتِ ٱلْأَوْتَارِ». مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ عِنْدَ دُعَائِيَ ٱسْتَجِبْ لِي يَا إِلَهَ بِرِّي. فِي ٱلضِّيقِ رَحَّبْتَ لِي. تَرَاءَفْ عَلَيَّ وَٱسْمَعْ صَلَاتِي.١
2 Sons of men! till when [is] my glory for shame? Ye love a vain thing, ye seek a lie. (Selah)
يَا بَنِي ٱلْبَشَرِ، حَتَّى مَتَى يَكُونُ مَجْدِي عَارًا؟ حَتَّى مَتَى تُحِبُّونَ ٱلْبَاطِلَ وَتَبْتَغُونَ ٱلْكَذِبَ؟ سِلَاهْ.٢
3 And know ye that Jehovah Hath separated a saintly one to Himself. Jehovah heareth in my calling to Him.
فَٱعْلَمُوا أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ مَيَّزَ تَقِيَّهُ. ٱلرَّبُّ يَسْمَعُ عِنْدَ مَا أَدْعُوهُ.٣
4 'Tremble ye, and do not sin;' Say ye [thus] in your heart on your bed, And be ye silent. (Selah)
اِرْتَعِدُوا وَلَا تُخْطِئُوا. تَكَلَّمُوا فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ عَلَى مَضَاجِعِكُمْ وَٱسْكُتُوا. سِلَاهْ.٤
5 Sacrifice ye sacrifices of righteousness, And trust ye unto Jehovah.
اِذْبَحُوا ذَبَائِحَ ٱلْبِرِّ، وَتَوَكَّلُوا عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ.٥
6 Many are saying, 'Who doth show us good?' Lift on us the light of Thy face, O Jehovah,
كَثِيرُونَ يَقُولُونَ: «مَنْ يُرِينَا خَيْرًا؟». ٱرْفَعْ عَلَيْنَا نُورَ وَجْهِكَ يَارَبُّ.٦
7 Thou hast given joy in my heart, From the time their corn and their wine Have been multiplied.
جَعَلْتَ سُرُورًا فِي قَلْبِي أَعْظَمَ مِنْ سُرُورِهِمْ إِذْ كَثُرَتْ حِنْطَتُهُمْ وَخَمْرُهُمْ.٧
8 In peace together I lie down and sleep, For Thou, O Jehovah, alone, In confidence dost cause me to dwell!
بِسَلَامَةٍ أَضْطَجِعُ بَلْ أَيْضًا أَنَامُ، لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ مُنْفَرِدًا فِي طُمَأْنِينَةٍ تُسَكِّنُنِي.٨
