< Zaburi 4 >

1 Unijibu nikuitapo, Mungu wa haki yangu; uniokoe niwapo katika hatari. Unihurumie na usikie maombi yangu.
For the chief musician; on stringed instruments. A psalm of David. Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness; give me room when I am hemmed in. Have mercy on me and listen to my prayer.
2 Ninyi watu, mpaka lini mtaiabisha heshima yangu? Mpaka lini mtaendelea kupenda kile kisicho stahili na kutafuta uongo?
You people, how long will you turn my honor into shame? How long will you love that which is worthless and seek after lies? (Selah)
3 Lakini mjue ya kuwa Yahweh huchagua watu wa kimungu kwa ajili yake. Nitakapo mwita Yahwe atasikia.
But know that Yahweh sets apart the godly for himself. Yahweh will hear when I call to him.
4 Tetemekeni na kuogopa, lakini msitende dhambi! Tafakarini mioyoni mwenu kwenye vitanda vyenu na muwe kimya.
Tremble in fear, but do not sin! Meditate in your heart on your bed and be silent. (Selah)
5 Toeni matoleo ya haki na muweke imani yenu katika Yahweh.
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness and put your trust in Yahweh.
6 Wengi husema, “Ni nani atakaye tuonyesha chochote kilicho kizuri?” Yahweh, utuangazie nuru ya uso wako.
Many say, “Who will show us anything good?” Yahweh, lift up the light of your face on us.
7 Umeupa moyo wangu furaha kuu kuliko wao wanapozidishiwa nafaka na divai mpaya.
You have given my heart more gladness than others have when their grain and new wine abound.
8 Ni amani kuwa nitajilaza na kusinzia, kwako pekee, Yahweh, nifanye kuwa salama kabisa.
It is in peace that I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Yahweh, make me safe and secure.
