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 dishonour?
How long will ye love vanity,
And seek after falsehood? Selah
3But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself:
The LORD 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 the LORD.
6Many there be that say, Who will shew us any good?
LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
7Thou hast put gladness in my heart,
More than they have when their corn and their wine are increased.
8In peace will I both lay me down and sleep:
For thou, LORD, alone makest me dwell in safety.

Psalm 4
4
1 In parts according to verses. A Psalm of David.
2 When I called upon him, the God of my justice heeded me. In tribulation, you have enlarged me. Have mercy on me, and heed my prayer.
3 Sons of men, how long will you be dull in heart, so that whatever you love is in vain, and whatever you seek is false?
4 And know this: the Lord has made wondrous his holy one. The Lord will heed me when I cry out to him.
5 Be angry, and do not be willing to sin. The things that you say in your hearts: be sorry for them on your beds.
6 Offer the sacrifice of justice, and hope in the Lord. Many say, "Who reveals to us what is good?"
7 The light of your countenance, Lord, has been sealed upon us. You have given joy to my heart.
8 By the fruit of their grain, wine, and oil, they have been multiplied.
9 In peace itself, I will sleep and I will rest.
10 For you, O Lord, have established me singularly in hope.
