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 by David. Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. Give me relief from my distress. Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
2 Ninyi watu, mpaka lini mtaiabisha heshima yangu? Mpaka lini mtaendelea kupenda kile kisicho stahili na kutafuta uongo?
You sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonour? Will you 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 has set apart for himself him who is godly; The LORD will hear when I call to him.
4 Tetemekeni na kuogopa, lakini msitende dhambi! Tafakarini mioyoni mwenu kwenye vitanda vyenu na muwe kimya.
Stand in awe, and don’t sin. Search your own heart on your bed, and be still. (Selah)
5 Toeni matoleo ya haki na muweke imani yenu katika Yahweh.
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness. Put your trust in the LORD.
6 Wengi husema, “Ni nani atakaye tuonyesha chochote kilicho kizuri?” Yahweh, utuangazie nuru ya uso wako.
Many say, “Who will show us any good?” LORD, let the light of your face shine on us.
7 Umeupa moyo wangu furaha kuu kuliko wao wanapozidishiwa nafaka na divai mpaya.
You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.
8 Ni amani kuwa nitajilaza na kusinzia, kwako pekee, Yahweh, nifanye kuwa salama kabisa.
In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me live in safety.
