Psalms 4
4
For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.
1Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness;
Thou hast set me at large when I was in distress:
Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
2O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor?
How long will ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? [Selah
3But know that Jehovah hath set apart for himself him that is godly:
Jehovah will hear when I call unto him.
4Stand in awe, and sin not:
Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. [Selah
5Offer the sacrifices of righteousness,
And put your trust in Jehovah.
6Many there are that say, Who will show us any good?
Jehovah, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
7Thou hast put gladness in my heart,
More than they have when their grain and their new wine are increased.
8In peace will I both lay me down and sleep;
For thou, Jehovah, alone makest me dwell in safety.

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.

“Who will show us any good?”
