Psalms 4
4
The Safety of the Faithful
To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.
1Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness!
You have relieved me in my distress;
Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
2How long, O you sons of men,
Will you turn my glory to shame?
How long will you love worthlessness
And seek falsehood?
Selah
3But know that #(2 Tim. 2:19)the Lord has set apart for Himself him who is godly;
The Lord will hear when I call to Him.
4#(Ps. 119:11; Eph. 4:26)Be angry, and do not sin.
#Ps. 77:6Meditate within your heart on your bed, and be still.
Selah
5Offer #Deut. 33:19; Ps. 51:19the sacrifices of righteousness,
And #Ps. 37:3, 5; 62:8put your trust in the Lord.
6There are many who say,
“Who will show us any good?”
#Num. 6:26; Ps. 80:3, 7, 19Lord, lift up the light of Your countenance upon us.
7You have put #Ps. 97:11, 12; Is. 9:3; Acts 14:17gladness in my heart,
More than in the season that their grain and wine increased.
8#Job 11:19; Ps. 3:5I will both lie down in peace, and sleep;
#(Lev. 25:18); Deut. 12:10For You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.

PSALM 4
To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.
1When I call, answer me, O God#GodHebrew: Elohim of my righteousness: in pressure thou hast enlarged me; be gracious unto me, and hear my prayer. 2Ye sons of men, till when is my glory to be put to shame? How long will ye love vanity, will ye seek after a lie? Selah. 3But know that Jehovah hath set apart the pious man for himself: Jehovah will hear when I call unto him. 4Be moved with anger, and sin not; meditate in your own hearts upon your bed, and be still. Selah. 5Offer sacrifices of righteousness, and confide in Jehovah.
6Many say, Who shall cause us to see good? Lift up upon us the light of thy countenance, O Jehovah. 7Thou hast put joy in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their new wine was in abundance. 8In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; for thou, Jehovah, alone makest me to dwell in safety.
