Banzembo 4
1 Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi; ezali ya koyemba na lindanda. Nzambe, bosembo na ngai, soki nabeleli Yo, yanola ngai. Kangola ngai na pasi, salela ngai ngolu, mpe yoka libondeli na ngai.
[For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm by David.] Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. You set me free in my distress. Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.
2 Bino bato, kino tango nini bokoyokisa nkembo na ngai soni? Kino tango nini bokomisepelisa na makambo ya pamba mpe bokolanda makambo ya lokuta?
You sons of man, how long will you shame my honor, love what is worthless, chase after a lie? (Selah)
3 Boyeba ete Yawe abulisi mpo na Ye moko mosali oyo azali sembo na miso na Ye; Yawe ayokaka ngai tango nabelelaka Ye.
But know that the LORD works wonders for his godly one; the LORD will hear when I call to him.
4 Soki bosiliki, bosalaka masumu te; soki bolali na mbeto, bolukaka kososola makambo mpe bovandaka kimia.
Be angry, but do not sin. Ponder in your heart, but be at rest on your bed. (Selah)
5 Bobonzaka bambeka kolanda mibeko mpe botiaka elikya na bino kati na Yawe.
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
6 Bato mingi bazali kotuna: « Nani akomemela biso bolamu? » Oh Yawe, ngengisela biso elongi na Yo.
Many say, "Who will show us any good?" LORD, lift up the light of your face upon us.
7 Tondisa motema na ngai na esengo soki bafuluki na bambuma ya ble elongo na vino ya sika.
You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and wine and oil abound.
8 Nakolala mpe nakozwa pongi na kimia, pamba te, Yo moko Yawe, osalaka ete navanda na kimia.
In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me live in safety.
