Psalms 4
4
Safety in Yahweh
For the music director; with stringed instruments. A psalm of David.#The Hebrew Bible counts the superscription as the first verse of the psalm; the English verse number is reduced by one
1When I call, answer me, O God of my righteousness.#Or “vindication”
In trouble deliver me.#Literally “make wide for me”
Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.
2O sons of man, how long will my honor#Or “glory” be a disgrace?
How long will you love vanity?
How long will you seek lies?#Or “falsehood” Selah
3But know that Yahweh has set apart#Or “treated specially” for himself the faithful one.#Or “pious, godly one”
Yahweh hears when I call to him.
4Be disturbed but do not sin.
Commune in your heart#That is, “think it over” on your bed and be silent. Selah
5Offer correct sacrifices,#Or “right sacrifices”
and trust in#Literally “trust to” Yahweh.
6Many are saying, “Who will show us something good?”
Lift up over#Or “upon” us the light of your face, O Yahweh.
7You have put gladness in my heart
more than when#Literally “the time of” their grain and their wine abound.
8In peace I will lie down and sleep at once,#Literally “together”
for you alone, O Yahweh, make me dwell safely.

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.
