Psalms 4
1 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness; Thou hast set me at large [when I was] in distress: Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
For the End, a Song of David amongst [the ]Psalms. When I called upon [him], the God of my righteousness heard me: you have made room for me in tribulation; pity me, and listen to my prayer.
2 O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? [How long] will ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? (Selah)
O you sons of men, how long [will you be] slow of heart? therefore do you love vanity, and seek falsehood? (Pause)
3 But know that Jehovah hath set apart for himself him that is godly: Jehovah will hear when I call unto him.
But know you that the Lord has done wondrous things for his holy one: the Lord will hear me when I cry to him.
4 Stand in awe, and sin not: Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
Be you angry, and sin not; feel compunction upon your beds for what you say in your hearts. (Pause)
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, And put your trust in Jehovah.
Offer the sacrifice of righteousness, and trust in the Lord.
6 Many there are that say, Who will show us [any] good? Jehovah, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
Many say, Who will show us good things? the light of your countenance, O Lord, has been manifested towards us.
7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, More than [they have] when their grain and their new wine are increased.
You have put gladness into my heart: they have been satisfied with the fruit of their corn and wine and oil.
8 In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; For thou, Jehovah, alone makest me dwell in safety.
I will both lie down in peace and sleep: for you, Lord, only have caused me to dwell securely.
