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.

Sabuurradii 4
Somali Bible
Kanu waa sabuur Daa'uud u tiriyey madaxdii muusikaystayaasha, oo waxaa lagu qaadaa alaab xadhko leh oo muusiko ah.
4 Ilaaha xaqnimadaydow, markii aan ku baryo i maqal,
Markii aan cidhiidhi ku jirayba meel baad ii bannaysay,
Ii naxariiso oo baryadayda maqal.
2 Binu-aadmigow, ilaa goormaa sharaftaydu sharafjab u rogmanaysaa?
Ilaa goormaad wax aan micne lahayn jeclaanaysaan?
Oo ilaa goormaad been doondoonaysaan? (Selaah)
3 Laakiinse ogaada in Rabbigu gooni ahaan isugu soocay kii cibaado leh,
Rabbigu wuu maqli doonaa markii aan u yeedho isaga.
4 Cadhooda oo ha dembaabina,
Qalbigiinna la hadla markii aad sariirtiinna ku jiiftaan, oo aamusa. (Selaah)
5 Bixiya allabaryadii xaqnimada,
Oo Rabbiga isku halleeya.
6 Waxaa jira kuwo badan oo yidhaahda, Bal yaa wanaag na tusaya?
Rabbiyow, iftiinka wejigaaga nagu ifi.
7 Waxaad qalbigayga gelisay farxad
Ka sii badan tan ay helaan markii hadhuudhkooda iyo khamrigoodu ay kordhaan.
8 Nabad baan ku jiifsanayaa oo aan ku seexanayaa,
Waayo, Rabbiyow, adigoo keliya ayaa ammaan igu bariiya.
