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.
For the End, a Song of David among [the ]Psalms. When I called upon [him], the God of my righteousness heard me: thou hast made room for me in tribulation; pity me, and hearken to my prayer.
2 Enyi watu, mtabadilisha utukufu wangu kuwa aibu mpaka lini? Mtapenda udanganyifu na kufuata miungu ya uongo mpaka lini?
O ye sons of men, how long [will ye be] slow of heart? wherefore do ye love vanity, and seek falsehood? (Pause)
3 Fahamuni hakika kwamba Bwana amewatenga wale wamchao kwa ajili yake; Bwana atanisikia nimwitapo.
But know ye that the Lord has done wondrous things for his holy one: the Lord will hear me when I cry to him.
4 Katika hasira yako, usitende dhambi. Mkiwa vitandani mwenu, mtulie kimya mkiichunguza mioyo yenu.
Be ye angry, and sin not; feel compunction upon your beds for what ye say in your hearts. (Pause)
5 Toeni dhabihu zilizo haki; mtegemeeni Bwana.
Offer the sacrifice of righteousness, and trust in the Lord.
6 Wengi wanauliza, “Ni nani awezaye kutuonyesha jema lolote?” Ee Bwana, tuangazie nuru ya uso wako.
Many say, Who will shew us good things? the light of thy countenance, O Lord, has been manifested towards us.
7 Wewe umejaza moyo wangu kwa furaha kubwa kuliko watu waliopata nafaka na divai kwa wingi.
Thou hast put gladness into my heart: they have been satisfied with the fruit of their corn and wine and oil.
8 Nitajilaza chini na kulala kwa amani, kwa kuwa wewe peke yako, Ee Bwana, waniwezesha kukaa kwa salama.
I will both lie down in peace and sleep: for thou, Lord, only hast caused me to dwell securely.
