< Psalmi 4 >
1 Poslušaj me, kadar kličem, oh Bog moje pravičnosti. Osvobodil si me, ko sem bil v stiski, usmili se me in usliši mojo molitev.
For the music director. A psalm of David, to be accompanied by string instruments. When I call, please answer me, God who vindicates me. When I was hemmed in by troubles, you gave me a way out. Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.
2 Oh vi človeški sinovi, doklej boste mojo slavo spreminjali v sramoto? Kako dolgo boste ljubili prazne reči in iskali laž? (Sela)
How long will you people ruin my reputation? How long will you love what is worthless and tell lies? (Selah)
3 Toda vedite, da je Gospod zase oddvojil tistega, ki je bogaboječ. Gospod bo slišal, kadar kličem k njemu.
You should realize that the Lord shows special favor to the faithful. The Lord listens when I call to him.
4 Stoj v strahospoštovanju in ne greši. Na svoji postelji se posvetuj s svojim lastnim srcem in miruj. (Sela)
Be in awe, do not sin. When you rest, reflect on this, and keep quiet! (Selah)
5 Daruj klavne daritve pravičnosti in svoje trdno upanje položi v Gospoda.
Offer sacrifices with the right attitude. Trust in the Lord.
6 Mnogi so, ki pravijo: »Kdo nam bo pokazal karkoli dobrega?« Gospod, dvigni nad nami svetlobo svojega obličja.
Many say, “Who is going to show us some good?” Lord, may your face shine upon us.
7 V moje srce si položil veselje, več kot v času, ko je naraslo njihovo žito in njihovo vino.
The happiness you give me is better than those who have a plentiful harvest of grain and new wine.
8 V miru se bom ulegel in spal. Kajti samo ti, Gospod, mi daješ prebivati na varnem.
I will lie down in peace and sleep, for you, Lord, alone keep me safe.
