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
To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.
1When I call, answer me, O God#GodHebrew: Elohim of my righteousness: in pressure thou hast enlarged me; be gracious unto me, and hear my prayer. 2Ye sons of men, till when is my glory to be put to shame? How long will ye love vanity, will ye seek after a lie? Selah. 3But know that Jehovah hath set apart the pious man for himself: Jehovah will hear when I call unto him. 4Be moved with anger, and sin not; meditate in your own hearts upon your bed, and be still. Selah. 5Offer sacrifices of righteousness, and confide in Jehovah.
6Many say, Who shall cause us to see good? Lift up upon us the light of thy countenance, O Jehovah. 7Thou hast put joy in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their new wine was in abundance. 8In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; for thou, Jehovah, alone makest me to dwell in safety.
