Psalms 4
1 Fún adarí orin. Pẹ̀lú ohun èlò orin olókùn. Saamu ti Dafidi. Dá mi lóhùn nígbà tí mo bá pè ọ́, ìwọ Ọlọ́run òdodo mi. Fún mi ní ìdáǹdè nínú ìpọ́njú mi; ṣàánú fún mi, kí o sì gbọ́ àdúrà mi.
For the End, a Song of David among [the ]Psalms. When I called upon [him], the God of my righteousness heard me: thou hast made room for me in tribulation; pity me, and hearken to my prayer.
2 Báwo ni yóò ṣe pẹ́ tó, ẹ̀yin ọmọ ènìyàn, tí ẹ ó ṣe sọ ògo mi di ìtìjú? Báwo ni yóò ṣe pẹ́ tó, tí ẹ̀yin yóò ṣe fẹ́ràn ìtànjẹ àti tí ẹ̀yin yóò fi máa wá ọlọ́run èké?
O ye sons of men, how long [will ye be] slow of heart? wherefore do ye love vanity, and seek falsehood? (Pause)
3 Ṣùgbọ́n kí ẹ mọ̀ pé, Olúwa ti ya ẹni olódodo sọ́tọ̀ fún ara rẹ̀; Olúwa yóò gbọ́ nígbà tí mo bá pè é.
But know ye that the Lord has done wondrous things for his holy one: the Lord will hear me when I cry to him.
4 Ẹ bínú ẹ má ṣe ṣẹ̀, nígbà tí ẹ bá wà lórí ibùsùn yín, ẹ bá ọkàn yín sọ̀rọ̀, kí ó sì dákẹ́ jẹ́.
Be ye angry, and sin not; feel compunction upon your beds for what ye say in your hearts. (Pause)
5 Ẹ rú ẹbọ òdodo kí ẹ sì gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa.
Offer the sacrifice of righteousness, and trust in the Lord.
6 Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ló ń béèrè pé, “Ta ni yóò ṣe rere fún wa?” Olúwa, jẹ́ kí ojú rẹ mọ́lẹ̀ sí wa lára,
Many say, Who will shew us good things? the light of thy countenance, O Lord, has been manifested towards us.
7 Ìwọ ti fi ayọ̀ púpọ̀ kún ọkàn mi ju ìgbà tí hóró irúgbìn àti wáìnì tuntun wọ́n pọ̀ fún mi lọ.
Thou hast put gladness into my heart: they have been satisfied with the fruit of their corn and wine and oil.
8 Èmi yóò dùbúlẹ̀, èmi ó sì sùn ní àlàáfíà, nítorí ìwọ nìkan, Olúwa, ni o mú mi gbé láìléwu.
I will both lie down in peace and sleep: for thou, Lord, only hast caused me to dwell securely.
