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.
God, answer me when I pray to you. You are the one who vindicates me; Rescue me from things that distress me. Act mercifully toward me, and listen to me while I pray.
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?
How long will you people cause me to be disgraced instead of honoring me [RHQ]? You [people] love to falsely accuse me.
3 Ṣùgbọ́n kí ẹ mọ̀ pé, Olúwa ti ya ẹni olódodo sọ́tọ̀ fún ara rẹ̀; Olúwa yóò gbọ́ nígbà tí mo bá pè é.
All those who are loyal to Yahweh, he has chosen them to belong to him. Yahweh listens to me when I pray 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.
When you people get angry, do not [allow your anger to control you and cause you to] sin. While you lie on your bed, silently examine what you are thinking.
5 Ẹ rú ẹbọ òdodo kí ẹ sì gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa.
Also, offer to Yahweh the proper sacrifices, and continue trusting in him.
6 Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ló ń béèrè pé, “Ta ni yóò ṣe rere fún wa?” Olúwa, jẹ́ kí ojú rẹ mọ́lẹ̀ sí wa lára,
Some people ask, “Who will allow good things to happen to us?” [But I say], “Yahweh, continue to act kindly toward us.
7 Ìwọ ti fi ayọ̀ púpọ̀ kún ọkàn mi ju ìgbà tí hóró irúgbìn àti wáìnì tuntun wọ́n pọ̀ fún mi lọ.
You have made me very happy; I am happier than people who have harvested a great amount of grain and grapes.
8 Èmi yóò dùbúlẹ̀, èmi ó sì sùn ní àlàáfíà, nítorí ìwọ nìkan, Olúwa, ni o mú mi gbé láìléwu.
I can lie down [at night] and sleep soundly because [I know that] you, Yahweh, will keep me safe.”
