Psalms 4
4
For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm by David.
1Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness.
Give me relief from my distress.
Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
2You sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor?
Will you love vanity and seek after falsehood? Selah.
3But know that Yahweh has set apart for himself him who is godly;
Yahweh will hear when I call to him.
4Stand in awe, and don’t sin.
Search your own heart on your bed, and be still. Selah.
5Offer the sacrifices of righteousness.
Put your trust in Yahweh.
6Many say, “Who will show us any good?”
Yahweh, let the light of your face shine on us.
7You have put gladness in my heart,
more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.
8In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep,
for you alone, Yahweh, make me live in safety.

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.
