Tehillim (Psa) 4
4
1For the leader. With stringed instruments. A psalm of David:
2O God, my vindicator!
Answer me when I call!
When I was distressed, you set me free;
now have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
3Men of rank, how long will you shame my honor,
love what is vain, chase after lies? (Selah)
4Understand that Adonai sets apart
the godly person for himself;
Adonai will hear when I call to him.
5You can be angry, but do not sin!
Think about this as you lie in bed,
and calm down. (Selah)
6Offer sacrifices rightly,
and put your trust in Adonai.
7Many ask, “Who can show us some good?”
Adonai, lift the light of your face over us!
8You have filled my heart with more joy
than all their grain and new wine.
9I will lie down and sleep in peace;
for, Adonai, you alone make me live securely.

Psalm 4
For the choir director; with stringed instruments; a psalm by David.
1Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness.
You have freed me from my troubles.
Have pity on me, and hear my prayer!
2You important people,
how long are you going to insult my honor?
How long are you going to love what is empty
and seek what is a lie? Selah
3Know that the Lord singles out godly people for himself.
The Lord hears me when I call to him.
4Tremble and do not sin.
Think about this on your bed and remain quiet. Selah
5Offer the sacrifices of righteousness
by trusting the Lord.
6Many are saying, “Who can show us anything good?”
Let the light of your presence shine on us, O Lord.
7You put more joy in my heart
than when their grain and new wine increase.
8I fall asleep in peace the moment I lie down
because you alone, O Lord, enable me to live securely.
