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 him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme of Dauid. Heare me when I call, O God of my righteousnes: thou hast set me at libertie, when I was in distresse: haue mercie vpon me and hearken vnto my prayer.
2 Enyi watu, mtabadilisha utukufu wangu kuwa aibu mpaka lini? Mtapenda udanganyifu na kufuata miungu ya uongo mpaka lini?
O ye sonnes of men, howe long will yee turne my glory into shame, louing vanitie, and seeking lyes? (Selah)
3 Fahamuni hakika kwamba Bwana amewatenga wale wamchao kwa ajili yake; Bwana atanisikia nimwitapo.
For be ye sure that the Lord hath chosen to himselfe a godly man: the Lord will heare when I call vnto him.
4 Katika hasira yako, usitende dhambi. Mkiwa vitandani mwenu, mtulie kimya mkiichunguza mioyo yenu.
Tremble, and sinne not: examine your owne heart vpon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
5 Toeni dhabihu zilizo haki; mtegemeeni Bwana.
Offer the sacrifices of righteousnes, 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 shewe vs any good? but Lord, lift vp the light of thy countenance vpon vs.
7 Wewe umejaza moyo wangu kwa furaha kubwa kuliko watu waliopata nafaka na divai kwa wingi.
Thou hast giuen mee more ioye of heart, then they haue had, when their wheate and their wine did abound.
8 Nitajilaza chini na kulala kwa amani, kwa kuwa wewe peke yako, Ee Bwana, waniwezesha kukaa kwa salama.
I will lay mee downe, and also sleepe in peace: for thou, Lord, onely makest me dwell in safetie.
