Zaburi 4
1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Kwa ala za nyuzi za muziki. Zaburi ya Daudi. Nijibu nikuitapo, Ee Mungu wangu mwenye haki! Nipumzishe katika shida zangu; nirehemu, usikie ombi langu.
To the chief music-maker on corded instruments. A Psalm. Of David. Give answer to my cry, O God of my righteousness; make me free from my troubles; have mercy on me, and give ear to my prayer.
2 Enyi watu, mtabadilisha utukufu wangu kuwa aibu mpaka lini? Mtapenda udanganyifu na kufuata miungu ya uongo mpaka lini?
O you sons of men, how long will you go on turning my glory into shame? how long will you give your love to foolish things, going after what is false? (Selah)
3 Fahamuni hakika kwamba Bwana amewatenga wale wamchao kwa ajili yake; Bwana atanisikia nimwitapo.
See how the Lord has made great his mercy for me; the Lord will give ear to my cry.
4 Katika hasira yako, usitende dhambi. Mkiwa vitandani mwenu, mtulie kimya mkiichunguza mioyo yenu.
Let there be fear in your hearts, and do no sin; have bitter feelings on your bed, but make no sound. (Selah)
5 Toeni dhabihu zilizo haki; mtegemeeni Bwana.
Give the offerings of righteousness, and put your faith in the Lord.
6 Wengi wanauliza, “Ni nani awezaye kutuonyesha jema lolote?” Ee Bwana, tuangazie nuru ya uso wako.
There are numbers who say, Who will do us any good? the light of his face has gone from us.
7 Wewe umejaza moyo wangu kwa furaha kubwa kuliko watu waliopata nafaka na divai kwa wingi.
Lord, you have put joy in my heart, more than they have when their grain and their wine are increased.
8 Nitajilaza chini na kulala kwa amani, kwa kuwa wewe peke yako, Ee Bwana, waniwezesha kukaa kwa salama.
I will take my rest on my bed in peace, because you only, Lord, keep me safe.
