Zaburi 4
1 Unijibu nikuitapo, Mungu wa haki yangu; uniokoe niwapo katika hatari. Unihurumie na usikie maombi yangu.
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 Ninyi watu, mpaka lini mtaiabisha heshima yangu? Mpaka lini mtaendelea kupenda kile kisicho stahili na kutafuta uongo?
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 Lakini mjue ya kuwa Yahweh huchagua watu wa kimungu kwa ajili yake. Nitakapo mwita Yahwe atasikia.
See how the Lord has made great his mercy for me; the Lord will give ear to my cry.
4 Tetemekeni na kuogopa, lakini msitende dhambi! Tafakarini mioyoni mwenu kwenye vitanda vyenu na muwe kimya.
Let there be fear in your hearts, and do no sin; have bitter feelings on your bed, but make no sound. (Selah)
5 Toeni matoleo ya haki na muweke imani yenu katika Yahweh.
Give the offerings of righteousness, and put your faith in the Lord.
6 Wengi husema, “Ni nani atakaye tuonyesha chochote kilicho kizuri?” Yahweh, utuangazie 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 Umeupa moyo wangu furaha kuu kuliko wao wanapozidishiwa nafaka na divai mpaya.
Lord, you have put joy in my heart, more than they have when their grain and their wine are increased.
8 Ni amani kuwa nitajilaza na kusinzia, kwako pekee, Yahweh, nifanye kuwa salama kabisa.
I will take my rest on my bed in peace, because you only, Lord, keep me safe.
