< Psalmi 4 >
1 Dāvida dziesma. Dziedātāju vadonim uz koklēm. Kad es saucu, tad paklausi mani, Tu, manas taisnības Dievs; bēdās Tu mani esi iepriecinājis; esi man žēlīgs un paklausi manu lūgšanu.
For the leader, with stringed instruments. A psalm of David. Answer my cry, God, my defender. Often from straits you have brought me to spacious places. So now show me your favor and hear my prayer.
2 Cilvēku bērni, cik ilgi mans gods paliks kaunā? Cik ilgi jūs mīlēsiet nīcīgas lietas un meklēsiet melus? (Sela)
How long, you proud people, will my honor be stained by the slanders you love, and the lies that you follow? (Selah)
3 Atzīstiet jel, ka Tas Kungs brīnišķi vadījis to, kas Viņu bīstas; Tas Kungs mani paklausa, kad es Viņu piesaucu.
See! The Lord has shown me his wonderful kindness: the Lord hears, when I call to him.
4 Dusmojiet, bet negrēkojiet, runājiet savā sirdī uz savām gultām un esiet klusu (Sela)
Sin not in your anger: but speak in your heart on your bed, and be still. (Selah)
5 Upurējiet taisnības upurus un paļaujaties uz To Kungu.
Offer true sacrifice, trust in the Lord.
6 Daudzi saka: kas mums rādīs labumu? Pacel, ak Kungs, pār mums Sava vaiga gaišumu.
Many are longing for fortune to smile. Lift upon us the light of your face.
7 Tu manai sirdij devis vairāk prieka nekā viņiem, kad tiem labības un vīna papilnam.
You have put in my heart, Lord, a deeper joy than was theirs who had corn and wine in abundance.
8 Es apgulšos ar mieru un aizmigšu, jo Tu vien, Kungs dari, ka es droši dzīvoju.
So in peace I will lie down and sleep; for you, Lord, keep me safe.
