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
4
An Evening Prayer of Trust in God
To the chief Musician on Neg´inoth, A Psalm of David.
1Hear me when I call,
O God of my righteousness:
thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress;
have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
2O ye sons of men,
how long will ye turn my glory into shame?
How long will ye love vanity,
and seek after leasing? Selah.
3But know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself:
the Lord will hear when I call unto him.

Eph 4.26. Stand 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.
6 There be many that say, Who will show us any good?
Lord, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
7Thou hast put gladness in my heart,
more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.
8I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep:
for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety.
