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.
Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Wɔto wɔ sankuhama so. Dawid dwom. Sɛ misu frɛ wo a, gye me so, me trenee Nyankopɔn. Ma me ɔhome wɔ mʼahohia mu; hu me mmɔbɔ na tie me mpaebɔ.
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)
Enkosi da bɛn na mobɛdan mʼanuonyam ahohora? Enkosi da bɛn na mobɛdɔ nneɛma hunu na moadi ahoni ahuhuw akyi?
3 But know that Jehovah hath set apart the pious [man] for himself: Jehovah will hear when I call unto him.
Hu sɛ Awurade ayi nea ɔwɔ nyamesu ama ne ho; Awurade betie, sɛ misu mefrɛ no a.
4 Be moved with anger, and sin not; meditate in your own hearts upon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
Sɛ mo bo fuw a, monnyɛ bɔne; sɛ modeda mo mpa so a, monyɛ komm na monhwehwɛ mo koma mu.
5 Offer sacrifices of righteousness, and confide in Jehovah.
Mommɔ afɔre a ɛfata na momfa mo werɛ nhyɛ Awurade mu.
6 Many say, Who shall cause us to see good? Lift up upon us the light of thy countenance, O Jehovah.
Nnipa bebree bisa se: “Hena na ɔde yiyeyɛ bɛbrɛ yɛn?” Awurade, ma wʼanim hann no nhyerɛn yɛn so.
7 Thou hast put joy in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their new wine was in abundance.
Fa anigye mmoroso hyɛ me koma ma bere a wɔn aburow ne nsa foforo abu so no.
8 In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; for thou, Jehovah, alone makest me to dwell in safety.
Mɛtɔ hɔ, na mada asomdwoe mu, efisɛ wo nko ara, Awurade, na woma metena dwoodwoo.
