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.
Pou chèf sanba yo. Se sou enstriman akòd pou yo jwe mizik la. Se yon sòm David. Lè m' rele ou, reponn mwen non, Bondye, ou menm k'ap fè m' jistis! Lè m' te nan tèt chaje, ou te vin ede m'. Gen pitye pou mwen. Koute lapriyè mwen.
2 Sons of men! till when [is] my glory for shame? Ye love a vain thing, ye seek a lie. (Selah)
Nou menm menm lèzòm, kilè n'a sispann trennen non m' nan labou! Kilè n'a sispann renmen bagay ki pa vo anyen! Kilè n'a sispann kouri dèyè bagay ki pa vre!
3 And know ye that Jehovah Hath separated a saintly one to Himself. Jehovah heareth in my calling to Him.
Pa bliye, se Seyè a ki chwazi m' pou moun pa li. Seyè a tande m' lè mwen rele l'.
4 'Tremble ye, and do not sin;' Say ye [thus] in your heart on your bed, And be ye silent. (Selah)
Se pou nou tranble tèlman nou pè, se pou n' sispann fè sa ki mal. Lè nou pou kont nou nan chanm nou, kalkile sou sa. Epi pe bouch nou.
5 Sacrifice ye sacrifices of righteousness, And trust ye unto Jehovah.
Ofri bèt Seyè a mande pou yo touye pou li. Mete konfyans nou nan li!
6 Many are saying, 'Who doth show us good?' Lift on us the light of Thy face, O Jehovah,
Gen anpil moun k'ap di: -Jan nou ta renmen Bondye beni nou! Tanpri, Seyè, fè nou santi ou la avèk nou!
7 Thou hast given joy in my heart, From the time their corn and their wine Have been multiplied.
Kontantman ou mete nan kè m' pi gwo pase kontantman ki nan kè lèzòm lè yo gen anpil manje ak anpil bwason.
8 In peace together I lie down and sleep, For Thou, O Jehovah, alone, In confidence dost cause me to dwell!
Mwen moute kabann mwen ak kè poze. Kou m' kouche, dòmi pran m'. Seyè, se ou menm sèl ki p'ap janm kite anyen rive m'.
