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.
4 #
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.

Psalm 4
4
1 In parts according to verses. A Psalm of David.
2 When I called upon him, the God of my justice heeded me. In tribulation, you have enlarged me. Have mercy on me, and heed my prayer.
3 Sons of men, how long will you be dull in heart, so that whatever you love is in vain, and whatever you seek is false?
4 And know this: the Lord has made wondrous his holy one. The Lord will heed me when I cry out to him.
5 Be angry, and do not be willing to sin. The things that you say in your hearts: be sorry for them on your beds.
6 Offer the sacrifice of justice, and hope in the Lord. Many say, "Who reveals to us what is good?"
7 The light of your countenance, Lord, has been sealed upon us. You have given joy to my heart.
8 By the fruit of their grain, wine, and oil, they have been multiplied.
9 In peace itself, I will sleep and I will rest.
10 For you, O Lord, have established me singularly in hope.
