Psalms 4
1 To the Overseer with Stringed Instruments. — A Psalm of David. In my calling answer Thou me, O God of my righteousness. In adversity Thou gavest enlargement to me; Favour me, and hear my prayer.
Ngiphendula ekukhaleni kwami, Nkulunkulu wokulunga kwami. Ekucindezelweni wangenzela indawo ebanzi. Woba lomusa kimi, uzwe umkhuleko wami.
2 Sons of men! till when [is] my glory for shame? Ye love a vain thing, ye seek a lie. (Selah)
Madodana abantu, koze kube nini liphendula udumo lwami lube lihlazo, lithanda okuyize, lidinga amanga? (Sela)
3 And know ye that Jehovah Hath separated a saintly one to Himself. Jehovah heareth in my calling to Him.
Kodwa yazini ukuthi iNkosi izehlukanisele owesaba uNkulunkulu; iNkosi iyangizwa lapho ngikhala kuyo.
4 'Tremble ye, and do not sin;' Say ye [thus] in your heart on your bed, And be ye silent. (Selah)
Thuthumelani, lingoni; khulumani lenhliziyo yenu embhedeni wenu, lithule. (Sela)
5 Sacrifice ye sacrifices of righteousness, And trust ye unto Jehovah.
Nikelani imihlatshelo yokulunga, lithembe eNkosini.
6 Many are saying, 'Who doth show us good?' Lift on us the light of Thy face, O Jehovah,
Banengi abathi: Ngubani ozasitshengisa okuhle? Nkosi, phakamisela ukukhanya kobuso bakho phezu kwethu.
7 Thou hast given joy in my heart, From the time their corn and their wine Have been multiplied.
Ubeke intokozo enhliziyweni yami okwedlula isikhathi lapho amabele abo lewayini labo elitsha kwandile.
8 In peace together I lie down and sleep, For Thou, O Jehovah, alone, In confidence dost cause me to dwell!
Ngizacambalala ngokuthula, khonokho ngilale ubuthongo, ngoba wena Nkosi wedwa uyangihlalisa ngokulondolozeka.
