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.
I KA'U uolo ana'ku e lohe mai ia'u, e ke Akua o'u e pono ai: Ua hoakea mai oe ia'u i ko'u popilikia; E aloha mai oe ia'u, e hoolohe mai hoi i ka'u pule.
2 Sons of men! till when [is] my glory for shame? Ye love a vain thing, ye seek a lie. (Selah)
E na keiki a kanaka, pehea la ka loihi O ko oukou hoolilo ana i ko'u nani i me a hilahila? No ke aha la e aloha ai oukou i ka lapuwale, A imi hoi i wahahee? (Sila)
3 And know ye that Jehovah Hath separated a saintly one to Himself. Jehovah heareth in my calling to Him.
E ike hoi oukou na hoana e o Iehova i ka mea haipulo nona; E lohe mai no o Iehova i ko'u kahea ana'ku ia ia.
4 'Tremble ye, and do not sin;' Say ye [thus] in your heart on your bed, And be ye silent. (Selah)
E haalulu oukou, mai hana hewa; E kukakuka me ko oukou naau iho, Ma ko oukou wahi moe e noho malie ai. (Sila)
5 Sacrifice ye sacrifices of righteousness, And trust ye unto Jehovah.
E kaumaha aku oukou i ka mohai pono, E lelepau ko oukou manao ia Iehova.
6 Many are saying, 'Who doth show us good?' Lift on us the light of Thy face, O Jehovah,
He nui no ka poe i olelo mai, Owai ka mea o hoike mai i ka pono ia kakou? E Iehova, e hoomalamalama mai kou maka ia makou.
7 Thou hast given joy in my heart, From the time their corn and their wine Have been multiplied.
Ua hookomo mai oe i ka olioli iloko o ko'u naau, A oi aku ko'u i ko lakou i ka mahuahua ana'e o ka palaoa a me ka waina.
8 In peace together I lie down and sleep, For Thou, O Jehovah, alone, In confidence dost cause me to dwell!
E moe au ilalo me ka maluhia, a hiamoe: No ka mea, o oe wale no, e Iehova, ka i hoomalu mai i ko'u noho ana.
