Psalm 4
Lexham English Bible
Safety in Yahweh
For the music director; with stringed instruments. A psalm of David.[a]
4 When I call, answer me, O God of my righteousness.[b]
In trouble deliver me.[c]
Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.
2 O sons of man, how long will my honor[d] be a disgrace?
How long will you love vanity?
How long will you seek lies?[e] Selah
3 But know that Yahweh has set apart[f] for himself the faithful one.[g]
Yahweh hears when I call to him.
4 Be disturbed but do not sin.
Commune in your heart[h] on your bed and be silent. Selah
5 Offer correct sacrifices,[i]
and trust in[j] Yahweh.
6 Many are saying, “Who will show us something good?”
Lift up over[k] us the light of your face, O Yahweh.
7 You have put gladness in my heart
more than when[l] their grain and their wine abound.
8 In peace I will lie down and sleep at once,[m]
for you alone, O Yahweh, make me dwell safely.

Panalangin sa Gabi
Katha ni David upang awitin ng Punong Mang-aawit; sa saliw ng instrumentong may kuwerdas.
4 Sagutin mo po ang aking pagtawag,
O Diyos, na aking kalasag!
Sa kagipitan ko, ako'y iyong tinulungan,
kaawaan mo ako ngayon, dalangin ko'y pakinggan.
2 Kayong mga tao, hanggang kailan ninyo ako hahamakin?
Ang walang kabuluhan at kasinungalingan,
hanggang kailan ninyo iibigin? (Selah)[a]
3 Dapat ninyong malamang itinalaga ni Yahweh ang matuwid,
kapag tumatawag ako sa kanya, siya'y nakikinig.
4 Huwag(A) hayaang magkasala ka nang dahil sa galit;
sa iyong silid, pag-isipa't ika'y manahimik. (Selah)[b]
5 Nararapat na handog, inyong ialay,
pagtitiwala n'yo'y kay Yahweh ibigay.
6 Tanong ng marami, “Sinong tutulong sa atin?”
Ikaw, O Yahweh, ang totoong mahabagin!
7 Puso ko'y iyong pinuno ng lubos na kagalakan,
higit pa sa pagkain at alak na inumin.
8 Sa aking paghiga, nakakatulog nang mahimbing,
pagkat ikaw, Yahweh, ang nag-iingat sa akin.
