Psalms 4 — Novel English Bible

1 Inah (answer / respond) me when I qaraa (called), Alahayam () of my tzadaq (righteous / just / fair). Give me relief from my tzar (oppressor / distressor). Have chanan (showing favor) on me, and shamai (hearken / hear) my thapalah (prayer).

2 You banay (my son) of ayash (man / husband), id (until / as far as) long shall my kabawad (glory) be turned into dishonor? Will you ahab (love) rayaq (vanity), and baqash (seek) after falsehood? Salah (selah).

3 But yadai (know) that Yahawah () has palah (set) apart for himself him who is chasayad (godly): Yahawah () will shamai (hearken / hear) when I qaraa (called) to him.

4 Ragaz (stand) in awe, and don't chataa (sin). Search your own labab (heart) on your mashakab (bed), and be still. Salah (selah).

5 Zabach (offer) the zabachay (sacrifices) of tzadaq (righteous / just / fair). Batach (put) your trust in Yahawah ().

6 Many amar (spoke), “Who will show us any tawab (good / proper function)?” Yahawah (), let the awar (light) of your panayam (face) shine on us.

7 You nathan (give) put shamachah (gladness) in my lab (heart), more than when their grain and their new thayarawash (wine) are rabab (increased).

8 In shalawam (peace / safety) I will yachad (both) shakab (lay) myself down and sleep, for you, Yahawah () badad (alone), yashab (inhabit/dwell) me live in safety.
