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
Psalm 4
For the director of music. A psalm of David to be played on stringed instruments.
1My faithful God,
answer me when I call out to you.
Give me rest from my trouble.
Have mercy on me. Hear my prayer.
2How long will you people turn my glory into shame?
How long will you love what will certainly fail you?
How long will you pray to statues of gods?
3Remember that the Lord has set apart his faithful servant for himself.
The Lord hears me when I call out to him.
4Tremble and do not sin.
When you are in bed,
look deep down inside yourself and be silent.
5Offer to the Lord the sacrifices that godly people offer.
Trust in him.
6 Lord, many are asking, “Who will make us successful?”
Lord, may you do good things for us.
7Fill my heart with joy
when the people have lots of grain and fresh wine.
8In peace I will lie down and sleep.
Lord, you alone keep me safe.
