< 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 chief musician; on stringed instruments. A psalm of David. Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness; give me room when I am hemmed in. Have mercy on me and listen to my prayer.
2 Oh vi človeški sinovi, doklej boste mojo slavo spreminjali v sramoto? Kako dolgo boste ljubili prazne reči in iskali laž? (Sela)
You people, how long will you turn my honor into shame? How long will you love that which is worthless and seek after lies? (Selah)
3 Toda vedite, da je Gospod zase oddvojil tistega, ki je bogaboječ. Gospod bo slišal, kadar kličem k njemu.
But know that Yahweh sets apart the godly for himself. Yahweh will hear when I call to him.
4 Stoj v strahospoštovanju in ne greši. Na svoji postelji se posvetuj s svojim lastnim srcem in miruj. (Sela)
Tremble in fear, but do not sin! Meditate in your heart on your bed and be silent. (Selah)
5 Daruj klavne daritve pravičnosti in svoje trdno upanje položi v Gospoda.
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness and put your trust in Yahweh.
6 Mnogi so, ki pravijo: »Kdo nam bo pokazal karkoli dobrega?« Gospod, dvigni nad nami svetlobo svojega obličja.
Many say, “Who will show us anything good?” Yahweh, lift up the light of your face on us.
7 V moje srce si položil veselje, več kot v času, ko je naraslo njihovo žito in njihovo vino.
You have given my heart more gladness than others have when their grain and new wine abound.
8 V miru se bom ulegel in spal. Kajti samo ti, Gospod, mi daješ prebivati na varnem.
It is in peace that I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Yahweh, make me safe and secure.
