4:intro b2qk 0 # Psalm 04 General Notes\n\n## Outline:\r\n- Superscription\r\n- v. 1 Distress \r\n- v. 2-6 Rebuke\r\n- v. 7-9 Blessing\n\n\n## About the Psalm\n\n\n\r\n\r\n**Purpose:** to intercede for the people and call them to repentance.\r\n**Content:** People, trust in Yahweh alone! He has relieved our suffering in the past, and he will help us again when I call to him. Yahweh, shine on us!\r\n**Message:** Yahweh alone gives peace and security in times of distress.\n\n\n\r\n\r\n## Poetic Elements (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-poetry]]):\n\n\n\r\n- Repetition features between v. 1, 6, and 8. See the note in [v. 6](../04/06.md).\r\n- Hebrew roots from v. 5 repeat in v. 7-9. See the note in [v. 5](../04/05.md).\r\n- There seems to be a morning and night pattern. The word translated **call** ([v. 1](../04/01.md)) and **cry** ([v. 3](../04/03.md)) sound like the Hebrew word for morning, and then bed is mentioned in [v. 4](../04/04.md). Yahweh lifting up the light of his face is like the dawn in [v. 6](../04/06.md) and in [v. 8](../04/08.md) the author lies down to sleep.\r\n- The last verse of the psalm seems to wind down peacefully, even repeating “sh” sounds. See the note in [v. 8](../04/08.md).\n\n\n\n\n### CCBYSA\r\n\r\nSignificant portions of the ULT, UST, and TNs for this psalm are derivative from [“Psalms, Layer by Layer”](https://psalms.cdbr.org/w/Welcome), [Psalm 4](https://psalms.cdbr.org/w/Psalm_4) by Cambridge Digital Bible Research, Katie Frost, Meaghan Smith, Nikki Mustin et al, used under [CC BY](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
4:1 zjj1 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-possession אֱלֹ֘הֵ֤י צִדְקִ֗⁠י 1 Here the possessive could mean: (1) “My righteous God,” or (2) “God who vindicates me.” Both options are grammatically possible, and both fit the context well. The following relative clause (v. 2b) which highlights Gods past faithfulness may suggest that it is Gods righteousness that is in view (hence the UST rendering). You can include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-possession]])
4:1 q28k rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns אֱלֹ֘הֵ֤י צִדְקִ֗⁠י\n 1 If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of **righteousness**, you could express the same idea in another way.

If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate these three questions as statements or exclamations. Alternate translation: “stop calling glory shame! Stop loving futility! Stop seeking falsehood!” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
4:2 vy7i rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns כְבוֹדִ֣⁠י לִ֭⁠כְלִמָּה\r 1 If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of **glory** and **shame**, you could express the same ideas in another way.

Alternate translation: “Tremble in fear and do not sin” or “Even if you tremble angrily do not sin” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
4:4 u9p9 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor אִמְר֣וּ בִ֭⁠לְבַבְ⁠כֶם\r 1 Here, the **heart** represents the thoughts and motives.

4:5 h8tj rc://*/ta/man/translate/writing-poetry צֶ֑דֶק וּ֝⁠בִטְח֗וּ\n 1 The words **righteousness** and **trust** form the poetic center of this psalm. Righteousness is mentioned in [verse 1](../04/01.md) and **trust** is the same word translated as “securely” in [verse 8](../04/08.md). You may wish to explore if you can reflect this symmetry in a natural way in your language. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-poetry]])
4:6 k53m rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion מִֽי־יַרְאֵ֪⁠נ֫וּ ט֥וֹב\r 1 The people asking this are using the question form to make a complaint and implied request.

An abundance of them represents material prosperity. If these would not represent basic foods and prosperity in your culture, you may consider using items that have the same implication from your own culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “they have a lot of bread and fresh milk” or “they are quite rich” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
4:7 ec21 rc://*/ta/man/translate/writing-poetry 0 In Hebrew, this verse uses progressively shortening lines and repeated sounds to create a sense of peaceful rest. Consider if there is a way in your language to create the same sensation. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-poetry]])
4:8 vko0 rc://*/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-logic-result בְּ⁠שָׁל֣וֹם יַחְדָּו֮ אֶשְׁכְּבָ֪ה וְ⁠אִ֫ישָׁ֥ן כִּֽי־אַתָּ֣ה יְהוָ֣ה לְ⁠בָדָ֑ד לָ֝⁠בֶ֗טַח תּוֹשִׁיבֵֽ⁠נִי 1 If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: “Since you alone, Yahweh, cause me to dwell securely, therefore in peace I will both lie down and sleep.” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-logic-result]])
