Psalm 4
For the choir director; with stringed instruments; a psalm by David.
1Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness.
You have freed me from my troubles.
Have pity on me, and hear my prayer!
2You important people,
how long are you going to insult my honor?
How long are you going to love what is empty
and seek what is a lie? Selah
3Know that the Lord singles out godly people for himself.
The Lord hears me when I call to him.
4Tremble and do not sin.
Think about this on your bed and remain quiet. Selah
5Offer the sacrifices of righteousness
by trusting the Lord.
6Many are saying, “Who can show us anything good?”
Let the light of your presence shine on us, O Lord.
7You put more joy in my heart
than when their grain and new wine increase.
8I fall asleep in peace the moment I lie down
because you alone, O Lord, enable me to live securely.

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.
