Zaburi 4
1 Unijibu nikuitapo, Mungu wa haki yangu; uniokoe niwapo katika hatari. Unihurumie na usikie maombi yangu.
For the Leader; with string-music. A Psalm of David. Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness, Thou who didst set me free when I was in distress; be gracious unto me, and hear my prayer.
2 Ninyi watu, mpaka lini mtaiabisha heshima yangu? Mpaka lini mtaendelea kupenda kile kisicho stahili na kutafuta uongo?
O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be put to shame, in that ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? (Selah)
3 Lakini mjue ya kuwa Yahweh huchagua watu wa kimungu kwa ajili yake. Nitakapo mwita Yahwe atasikia.
But know that the LORD hath set apart the godly man as His own; the LORD will hear when I call unto Him.
4 Tetemekeni na kuogopa, lakini msitende dhambi! Tafakarini mioyoni mwenu kwenye vitanda vyenu na muwe kimya.
Tremble, and sin not; commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
5 Toeni matoleo ya haki na muweke imani yenu katika Yahweh.
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
6 Wengi husema, “Ni nani atakaye tuonyesha chochote kilicho kizuri?” Yahweh, utuangazie nuru ya uso wako.
Many there are that say: 'Oh that we could see some good!' LORD, lift Thou up the light of Thy countenance upon us.
7 Umeupa moyo wangu furaha kuu kuliko wao wanapozidishiwa nafaka na divai mpaya.
Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than when their corn and their wine increase.
8 Ni amani kuwa nitajilaza na kusinzia, kwako pekee, Yahweh, nifanye kuwa salama kabisa.
In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; for Thou, LORD, makest me dwell alone in safety.
