Salmos 4

For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm by David.

1 Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness.

Give me relief from my distress.

Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.

2 You sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor?

Will you love vanity and seek after falsehood? Selah.

3 But know that Yahweh has set apart for himself him who is godly;

Yahweh will hear when I call to him.

4 Stand in awe, and don’t sin.

Search your own heart on your bed, and be still. Selah.

5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness.

Put your trust in Yahweh.

6 Many say, "Who will show us any good?"

Yahweh, let the light of your face shine on us.

7 You have put gladness in my heart,

more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.

8 In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep,

for you alone, Yahweh, make me live in safety.

He Īnoi i te Ahiahipō mō te Āwhina

Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi Nekinoto. He hīmene nā Rāwiri.

1 Whakahokia mai he kupu ki ahau,

e te Atua o tōku tika, ina karanga ahau.

I ahau i te pōuri i whakaputaina ahau e koe;

kia atawhai ki ahau, whakarongo ki tāku īnoi.

2 E ngā tama a te tangata,

kia pēhea te roa o tā koutou mea i tōku korōria hei whakamā,

o tā koutou aroha ki te horihori,

o tā koutou whai i te teka? Hera

3 Otiia kia mōhio koutou he mea momotu kē nā Ihowā te tangata tapu māna;

e whakarongo a Ihowā ua karanga ahau ki a ia.

4 Kia oho koutou, ā, kaua e hara;

kōrerorero ki ō koutou ngākau i runga i ō koutou moenga,

me te āta takoto anō. Hera

5 Patua ngā whakahere o te tika,

me te okioki anō ki a Ihowā.

6 He tokomaha te mea ana, "Mā wai e whakakite te pai ki a mātou?

Kia ara, e Ihowā, te mārama o tōu mata ki runga ki a mātou."

7 Hira ake te hari i hōmai e koe ki roto ki tōku ngākau

i tō rātou i te wā i hua ai ā rātou wīti, tā rātou wāina.

8 Ka takoto mārire ahau, ā, moe tonu iho;

ko koe anake hoki, e Ihowā,

hei mea kia au tōku noho.
