Psalmi 4
1 Poslušaj me, kadar kličem, oh Bog moje pravičnosti. Osvobodil si me, ko sem bil v stiski, usmili se me in usliši mojo molitev.
To the Chief Musician: with stringed instruments. A Melody of David. When I cry, answer me, O mine own righteous God, In a strait place, thou hast made room for me, Show me favour, and hear my prayer.
2 Oh vi človeški sinovi, doklej boste mojo slavo spreminjali v sramoto? Kako dolgo boste ljubili prazne reči in iskali laž? (Sela)
Ye sons of the great! how long, turning my glory to contempt, will ye love emptiness, will ye seek falsehood? (Selah)
3 Toda vedite, da je Gospod zase oddvojil tistega, ki je bogaboječ. Gospod bo slišal, kadar kličem k njemu.
Know ye, then, that Yahweh hath set apart the man of lovingkindness for himself: Yahweh, will hear, when I cry to him.
4 Stoj v strahospoštovanju in ne greši. Na svoji postelji se posvetuj s svojim lastnim srcem in miruj. (Sela)
Be deeply moved, but do not sin, —Ponder in your own heart upon your bed, and be silent. (Selah)
5 Daruj klavne daritve pravičnosti in svoje trdno upanje položi v Gospoda.
Sacrifice the sacrifices of righteousness; and put your trust in Yahweh.
6 Mnogi so, ki pravijo: »Kdo nam bo pokazal karkoli dobrega?« Gospod, dvigni nad nami svetlobo svojega obličja.
Multitudes, are saying, Who will show us prosperity? Lift thou upon us the light of thy countenance, O Yahweh.
7 V moje srce si položil veselje, več kot v času, ko je naraslo njihovo žito in njihovo vino.
Thou hast put gladness in my heart, —beyond the season when, their corn and their new wine, have increased.
8 V miru se bom ulegel in spal. Kajti samo ti, Gospod, mi daješ prebivati na varnem.
In peace, will I lay me down and at once sleep; for, thou, Yahweh alone, wilt cause me, in security, to dwell.
