Psalms 4

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
To the chief Musician on Neginoth, 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.
4Stand 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 shew 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.
