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.
God, answer me when I pray to you. You are the one who vindicates me; Rescue me from things that distress me. Act mercifully toward me, and listen to me while I pray.
2 Cilvēku bērni, cik ilgi mans gods paliks kaunā? Cik ilgi jūs mīlēsiet nīcīgas lietas un meklēsiet melus? (Sela)
How long will you people cause me to be disgraced instead of honoring me [RHQ]? You [people] love to falsely accuse me.
3 Atzīstiet jel, ka Tas Kungs brīnišķi vadījis to, kas Viņu bīstas; Tas Kungs mani paklausa, kad es Viņu piesaucu.
All those who are loyal to Yahweh, he has chosen them to belong to him. Yahweh listens to me when I pray to him.
4 Dusmojiet, bet negrēkojiet, runājiet savā sirdī uz savām gultām un esiet klusu (Sela)
When you people get angry, do not [allow your anger to control you and cause you to] sin. While you lie on your bed, silently examine what you are thinking.
5 Upurējiet taisnības upurus un paļaujaties uz To Kungu.
Also, offer to Yahweh the proper sacrifices, and continue trusting in him.
6 Daudzi saka: kas mums rādīs labumu? Pacel, ak Kungs, pār mums Sava vaiga gaišumu.
Some people ask, “Who will allow good things to happen to us?” [But I say], “Yahweh, continue to act kindly toward us.
7 Tu manai sirdij devis vairāk prieka nekā viņiem, kad tiem labības un vīna papilnam.
You have made me very happy; I am happier than people who have harvested a great amount of grain and grapes.
8 Es apgulšos ar mieru un aizmigšu, jo Tu vien, Kungs dari, ka es droši dzīvoju.
I can lie down [at night] and sleep soundly because [I know that] you, Yahweh, will keep me safe.”
