Psalms 4
1 To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. When I call, answer me, O God of my righteousness: in pressure thou hast enlarged me; be gracious unto me, and hear my prayer.
2 Ye sons of men, till when is my glory [to be put] to shame? [How long] will ye love vanity, will ye seek after a lie? (Selah)
O ry ana’ondatio, Sikala ‘mbia ro hafote’ areo ho inje ty asiko? ty hikoko ty tsy vente’e, hitsoeke ty famañahiañe? Selà
3 But know that Jehovah hath set apart the pious [man] for himself: Jehovah will hear when I call unto him.
Fe fohino te navaha’ Iehovà ho ama’e i vañoñey; ho janjiñe’ Iehovà te kanjieko.
4 Be moved with anger, and sin not; meditate in your own hearts upon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
Minevenevera, le ko mandilatse; mañereñerea añ’arofo an-tihi’o eo, vaho mianjiña. Selà
5 Offer sacrifices of righteousness, and confide in Jehovah.
Mañengà soron-kavantañañe, vaho miatoa am’Iehovà.
6 Many say, Who shall cause us to see good? Lift up upon us the light of thy countenance, O Jehovah.
Maro ty mivola: Ia ty hampiboake hasoa amantika? Ry Iehovà, onjono ama’ay ty hazavan-dahara’o.
7 Thou hast put joy in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their new wine was in abundance.
Ihe nampipoke haehake an-troko ao, mandikoatse te an-tsàm-pamokara’ iareo ampemba naho divay.
8 In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; for thou, Jehovah, alone makest me to dwell in safety.
Hàndre an-kanintsin-draho le hiroro amy te Ihe avao ry Iehovà ro mampimoneñe ahy am-pitsolohañe.
