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.
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)
O ry ana’ondatio, Sikala ‘mbia ro hafote’ areo ho inje ty asiko? ty hikoko ty tsy vente’e, hitsoeke ty famañahiañe? Selà
3 And know this: the Lord has made wondrous his holy one. The Lord will heed me when I cry out to him.
Fe fohino te navaha’ Iehovà ho ama’e i vañoñey; ho janjiñe’ Iehovà te kanjieko.
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)
Minevenevera, le ko mandilatse; mañereñerea añ’arofo an-tihi’o eo, vaho mianjiña. Selà
5 Offer the sacrifice of justice, and hope in the Lord. Many say, “Who reveals to us what is good?”
Mañengà soron-kavantañañe, vaho miatoa am’Iehovà.
6 The light of your countenance, Lord, has been sealed upon us. You have given joy to my heart.
Maro ty mivola: Ia ty hampiboake hasoa amantika? Ry Iehovà, onjono ama’ay ty hazavan-dahara’o.
7 By the fruit of their grain, wine, and oil, they have been multiplied.
Ihe nampipoke haehake an-troko ao, mandikoatse te an-tsàm-pamokara’ iareo ampemba naho divay.
8 In peace itself, I will sleep and I will rest. For you, O Lord, have established me singularly in hope.
Hàndre an-kanintsin-draho le hiroro amy te Ihe avao ry Iehovà ro mampimoneñe ahy am-pitsolohañe.
