EasyEnglish Bible

An evening song
4 God, please answer me when I call aloud for help.
You are the one who shows that I am right.
Help me in my trouble.
Show me that you are kind.
Listen to me when I pray.
2 Tell me this, you people:
How long will you refuse to respect me?
How long will you love stupid ideas?
How long will you agree with lies?
Selah.
3 The Lord is very kind to those who serve him.
He has chosen them to belong to himself.
So he listens when I pray to him.
4 Shake with fear and stop doing wrong things!
Lie on your bed and think quietly about your life.
Selah.
5 Offer the right sacrifices to the Lord.
Continue to trust in him.
6 Many people say, ‘Will anyone do a good thing for us?’
Lord, let your face smile on us.
7 You have made me very happy.
I am happier than anyone who has lots of food and wine.
8 I will lie down and I will sleep in peace.
You, Lord, are the one who takes care of me,
and you keep me safe.
Salmos 4
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
Salmo 4
Oración vespertina de confianza en Dios
Para el director del coro; para instrumentos de cuerda. Salmo de David.
4 Cuando clamo(A), respóndeme(B), oh Dios de mi justicia.
En la angustia me has aliviado(C);
Ten piedad de mí(D), escucha mi oración(E).
2 ¶Hijos de hombres, ¿hasta cuándo cambiarán mi honra[a](F) en deshonra(G)?
¿Hasta cuándo amarán la vanidad(H) y buscarán la mentira(I)? (Selah)
3 Sepan, pues, que el Señor ha apartado(J) al piadoso(K) para sí;
El Señor oye cuando a Él clamo(L).
4 ¶Tiemblen(M), y no pequen(N);
Mediten en su corazón sobre su lecho(O), y callen. (Selah)
5 Ofrezcan sacrificios de justicia(P),
Y confíen en el Señor(Q).
6 ¶Muchos dicen: «¿Quién nos mostrará el bien(R)?».
¡Alza, oh Señor, sobre nosotros la luz de Tu rostro(S)!
7 Alegría pusiste en mi corazón(T),
Mayor que la de ellos cuando abundan su grano y su vino nuevo.
8 En paz me acostaré y así también dormiré(U),
Porque solo Tú, Señor, me haces vivir seguro(V).
