Psalms 4
1 God, answer me when I pray to you. You are the one who vindicates me; Rescue me from things that distress me. Act mercifully toward me, and listen to me while I pray.
Al Músico principal: sobre Neginoth: Salmo de David. RESPÓNDEME cuando clamo, oh Dios de mi justicia: [estando] en angustia, tú me hiciste ensanchar: ten misericordia de mí, y oye mi oración.
2 How long will you people cause me to be disgraced instead of honoring me [RHQ]? You [people] love to falsely accuse me.
Hijos de los hombres, ¿hasta cuándo volveréis mi honra en infamia, amaréis la vanidad, y buscaréis la mentira? (Selah)
3 All those who are loyal to Yahweh, he has chosen them to belong to him. Yahweh listens to me when I pray to him.
Sabed pues, que Jehová hizo apartar al pío para sí: Jehová oirá cuando yo á él clamare.
4 When you people get angry, do not [allow your anger to control you and cause you to] sin. While you lie on your bed, silently examine what you are thinking.
Temblad, y no pequéis: conversad en vuestro corazón sobre vuestra cama, y desistid. (Selah)
5 Also, offer to Yahweh the proper sacrifices, and continue trusting in him.
Ofreced sacrificios de justicia, y confiad en Jehová.
6 Some people ask, “Who will allow good things to happen to us?” [But I say], “Yahweh, continue to act kindly toward us.
Muchos dicen: ¿Quién nos mostrará el bien? Alza sobre nosotros, oh Jehová, la luz de tu rostro.
7 You have made me very happy; I am happier than people who have harvested a great amount of grain and grapes.
Tú diste alegría en mi corazón, más que [tienen ellos] en el tiempo que se multiplicó su grano y su mosto.
8 I can lie down [at night] and sleep soundly because [I know that] you, Yahweh, will keep me safe.”
En paz me acostaré, y asimismo dormiré; porque solo tú, Jehová, me harás estar confiado.
