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.
Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi Nekinoto. He himene na Rawiri. Whakahokia mai he kupu ki ahau, e te Atua o toku tika, ina karanga ahau: i ahau i te pouri i whakaputaina ahau e koe; kia atawhai ki ahau, whakarongo ki taku inoi.
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)
E nga tama a te tangata, kia pehea te roa o ta koutou mea i toku kororia hei whakama, o ta koutou aroha ki te horihori, o ta koutou whai i te teka? (Hera)
3 But know that Jehovah hath set apart the pious [man] for himself: Jehovah will hear when I call unto him.
Otiia kia mohio koutou he mea momotu ke na Ihowa te tangata tapu mana: e whakarongo a Ihowa ua karanga ahau ki a ia.
4 Be moved with anger, and sin not; meditate in your own hearts upon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
Kia oho koutou, a kaua e hara: korerorero ki o koutou ngakau i runga i o koutou moenga, me te ata takoto ano. (Hera)
5 Offer sacrifices of righteousness, and confide in Jehovah.
Patua nga whakahere o te tika, me te okioki ano ki a Ihowa.
6 Many say, Who shall cause us to see good? Lift up upon us the light of thy countenance, O Jehovah.
He tokomaha te mea ana, Ma wai e whakakite te pai ki a matou? Kia ara, e Ihowa, te marama o tou mata ki runga ki a matou.
7 Thou hast put joy in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their new wine was in abundance.
Hira ake te hari i homai e koe ki roto ki toku ngakau i to ratou i te wa i hua ai a ratou witi, ta ratou waina.
8 In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; for thou, Jehovah, alone makest me to dwell in safety.
Ka takoto marire ahau, a moe tonu iho: ko koe anake hoki, e Ihowa, hei mea kia au toku noho.
