< Psalms 4 >

1 Hear 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. 2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after a lie? (Selah) 3 But know that Yhwh hath set apart him that is godly for himself: Yhwh will hear when I call unto him. 4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. (Selah) 5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in Yhwh. 6 There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? Yhwh, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us. 7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their grain and their wine increased. 8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Yhwh, only makest me dwell in safety.
