Psalms 4
1 In parts according to verses. A Psalm of David. When I called upon him, the God of my justice heeded me. In tribulation, you have enlarged me. Have mercy on me, and heed my prayer.
Til Sangmesteren. Med Strengespil. En Salme af David.
2 Sons of men, how long will you be dull in heart, so that whatever you love is in vain, and whatever you seek is false? (Pause)
Svar, naar jeg raaber, min Retfærds Gud! I Trængsel skaffede du mig Rum. Vær naadig og hør min Bøn!
3 And know this: the Lord has made wondrous his holy one. The Lord will heed me when I cry out to him.
Hvor længe, I Mænd, skal min Ære skændes? Hvor længe vil I elske Tomhed, søge Løgn? (Sela)
4 Be angry, and do not be willing to sin. The things that you say in your hearts: be sorry for them on your beds. (Pause)
Vid dog, at HERREN er mig underfuldt god; naar jeg paakalder HERREN, hører han mig.
5 Offer the sacrifice of justice, and hope in the Lord. Many say, “Who reveals to us what is good?”
Vredes kun, men forsynd eder ikke, tænk efter paa eders Leje og ti! (Sela)
6 The light of your countenance, Lord, has been sealed upon us. You have given joy to my heart.
Bring rette Ofre og stol paa HERREN!
7 By the fruit of their grain, wine, and oil, they have been multiplied.
Mange siger: »Hvo bringer os Lykke?« Opløft paa os dit Aasyns Lys!
8 In peace itself, I will sleep and I will rest. For you, O Lord, have established me singularly in hope.
HERRE, du skænked mit Hjerte en Glæde, større end deres, da Korn og Most flød over. I Fred gaar jeg til Hvile og slumrer straks, thi, HERRE, du lader mig bo alene i Tryghed.
