Psalms 4
1 For the leader, with stringed instruments. A psalm of David. Answer my cry, God, my defender. Often from straits you have brought me to spacious places. So now show me your favour and hear my prayer.
| לַמְנַצֵּחַ בִּנְגִינוֹת מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִֽד׃ בְּקׇרְאִי עֲנֵנִי ׀ אֱלֹהֵי צִדְקִי בַּצָּר הִרְחַבְתָּ לִּי חׇנֵּנִי וּשְׁמַע תְּפִלָּתִֽי׃ |
2 How long, you proud people, will my honour be stained by the slanders you love, and the lies that you follow? (Selah)
| בְּנֵי אִישׁ עַד־מֶה כְבוֹדִי לִכְלִמָּה תֶּאֱהָבוּן רִיק תְּבַקְשׁוּ כָזָב סֶֽלָה׃ |
3 See! The Lord has shown me his wonderful kindness: the Lord hears, when I call to him.
| וּדְעוּ כִּֽי־הִפְלָה יְהֹוָה חָסִיד לוֹ יְהֹוָה יִשְׁמַע בְּקׇרְאִי אֵלָֽיו׃ |
4 Sin not in your anger: but speak in your heart on your bed, and be still. (Selah)
| רִגְזוּ וְֽאַל־תֶּחֱטָאוּ אִמְרוּ בִלְבַבְכֶם עַֽל־מִשְׁכַּבְכֶם וְדֹמּוּ סֶֽלָה׃ |
5 Offer true sacrifice, trust in the Lord.
| זִבְחוּ זִבְחֵי־צֶדֶק וּבִטְחוּ אֶל־יְהֹוָֽה׃ |
6 Many are longing for fortune to smile. Lift upon us the light of your face.
| רַבִּים אֹמְרִים מִֽי־יַרְאֵנוּ טוֹב נְֽסָה־עָלֵינוּ אוֹר פָּנֶיךָ יְהֹוָֽה׃ |
7 You have put in my heart, Lord, a deeper joy than was theirs who had corn and wine in abundance.
| נָתַתָּה שִׂמְחָה בְלִבִּי מֵעֵת דְּגָנָם וְתִירוֹשָׁם רָֽבּוּ׃ |
8 So in peace I will lie down and sleep; for you, Lord, keep me safe.
| בְּשָׁלוֹם יַחְדָּו אֶשְׁכְּבָה וְאִישָׁן כִּֽי־אַתָּה יְהֹוָה לְבָדָד לָבֶטַח תּֽוֹשִׁיבֵֽנִי׃ |
