Psalmen 4
BasisBijbel

Psalm 4

1 Een lied van David. Voor de leider van het koor. Begeleiden met een snaarinstrument.

2 God, antwoord mij alstublieft als ik roep!
Want U komt voor mij op!
U redt me als ik in het nauw zit.
Heb medelijden met me!
Luister naar mijn gebed!

3 Hoelang blijven jullie me nog uitlachen?
Hoelang blijven jullie nog verlangen
naar dingen die eigenlijk niet belangrijk zijn?
4 Weet dat de Heer heel veel van mij houdt.
Hij luistert als ik Hem om hulp roep.

5 Heb ontzag voor God en wees Hem niet ongehoorzaam.
Denk na over wat er diep in je hart is
terwijl je 's nachts in bed ligt, en zwijg.
6 Breng aan de Heer de offers waar Hij van genieten kan
omdat je leeft zoals Hij het wil.
En vertrouw op Hem.

7 Veel mensen zeggen:
"Hoe zal het ooit weer goedkomen met ons?
Heer, zorg alstublieft weer voor ons!"
8 Maar Heer, U heeft míj heel gelukkig gemaakt.
Ik ben gelukkiger met U,
dan zij met hun grote oogsten van graan en wijn.
9 Ik kan in alle rust naar bed gaan en vredig in slaap vallen.
Want U alleen, Heer, zorgt ervoor dat ik veilig ben.

Psalm 4
Complete Jewish Bible

4 (0) For the leader. With stringed instruments. A psalm of David:

2 (1) O God, my vindicator!
Answer me when I call!
When I was distressed, you set me free;
now have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.

3 (2) Men of rank, how long will you shame my honor,
love what is vain, chase after lies? (Selah)
4 (3) Understand that Adonai sets apart
the godly person for himself;
Adonai will hear when I call to him.
5 (4) You can be angry, but do not sin!
Think about this as you lie in bed,
and calm down. (Selah)
6 (5) Offer sacrifices rightly,
and put your trust in Adonai.

7 (6) Many ask, “Who can show us some good?”
Adonai, lift the light of your face over us!
8 (7) You have filled my heart with more joy
than all their grain and new wine.
9 (8) I will lie down and sleep in peace;
for, Adonai, you alone make me live securely.

Psalm 4
New King James Version

The Safety of the Faithful

To the [a]Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.

4 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness!
You have relieved me in my distress;
[b]Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.

2 How long, O you sons of men,
Will you turn my glory to shame?
How long will you love worthlessness
And seek falsehood? Selah
3 But know that (A)the Lord has [c]set apart for Himself him who is godly;
The Lord will hear when I call to Him.

4 (B)Be[d] angry, and do not sin.
(C)Meditate within your heart on your bed, and be still. Selah
5 Offer (D)the sacrifices of righteousness,
And (E)put your trust in the Lord.

6 There are many who say,
“Who will show us any good?”
(F)Lord, lift up the light of Your countenance upon us.
7 You have put (G)gladness in my heart,
More than in the season that their grain and wine increased.
8 (H)I will both lie down in peace, and sleep;
(I)For You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.
