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
World English Bible
For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm by David.
4 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.
Psalm 4
King James Version
4 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.
3 But know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the Lord will hear when I call unto him.
4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the Lord.
6 There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? Lord, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.
8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety.
