Psalms 4
4
To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.
1Answer me when I call, O God of my right!
Thou hast given me room when I was in distress.
Be gracious to me, and hear my prayer.
2O men, how long shall my honor suffer shame?
How long will you love vain words, and seek after lies? Selah
3But know that the Lord has set apart the godly for himself;
the Lord hears when I call to him.
4 #
Eph 4.26. Be angry, but sin not;
commune with your own hearts on your beds, and be silent. Selah
5Offer right sacrifices,
and put your trust in the Lord.
6There are many who say, “O that we might see some good!
Lift up the light of thy countenance upon us, O Lord!”
7Thou hast put more joy in my heart
than they have when their grain and wine abound.
8In peace I will both lie down and sleep;
for thou alone, O Lord, makest me dwell in safety.

Psalms 4
4
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.
