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.

PSALM 4
To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.
1When I call, answer me, O God#GodHebrew: Elohim of my righteousness: in pressure thou hast enlarged me; be gracious unto me, and hear my prayer. 2Ye sons of men, till when is my glory to be put to shame? How long will ye love vanity, will ye seek after a lie? Selah. 3But know that Jehovah hath set apart the pious man for himself: Jehovah will hear when I call unto him. 4Be moved with anger, and sin not; meditate in your own hearts upon your bed, and be still. Selah. 5Offer sacrifices of righteousness, and confide in Jehovah.
6Many say, Who shall cause us to see good? Lift up upon us the light of thy countenance, O Jehovah. 7Thou hast put joy in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their new wine was in abundance. 8In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; for thou, Jehovah, alone makest me to dwell in safety.
