Psalms 4
1 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness; thou hast set me at large [when I was] in distress: have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
Pou direktè koral la; sou enstriman ak fil yo; yon sòm David Reponn mwen lè m rele Ou, O Bondye ladwati mwen; Ou te fè m pran souf nan gran twoub mwen an. Fè m gras e tande lapriyè mwen.
2 O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonour? [how long] will ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? (Selah)
O fis a lòm yo, jiskilè laglwa Mwen va devni yon repwòch? Jiskilè ou va renmen sa ki san valè e tante twonpe moun? Tan
3 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.
Men konnen ke SENYÈ a te mete nonm Bondye a apa pou Li menm. SENYÈ a tande lè m fè apèl Li.
4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
Tranble, men pa fè peche. Reflechi nan kè ou sou kabann ou, e rete kalm. Tan
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
Ofri sakrifis ladwati yo. Mete konfyans nan SENYÈ a.
6 Many there be that say, Who will shew us [any] good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
Anpil ap di: “Kilès ki kab montre nou yon bagay ki bon?” SENYÈ, leve wo limyè a vizaj Ou devan nou!
7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than [they have] when their corn and their wine are increased.
Ou te mete lajwa nan kè m plis pase lè gwo rekòlt sereyal mi ak diven nèf vin parèt.
8 In peace will I both lay me down and sleep: for thou, LORD, alone makest me dwell in safety.
Anpè, mwen va kouche pou dòmi, paske Ou sèl, SENYÈ, fè m viv ansekirite.
