< Psalms 4 >
1 Hear me when I call, O Elohim 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 falsehood? (Selah)
3 But know that YHWH hath set apart him that is righteous 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 corn and their wine increased.
8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, YHWH, only makest me dwell in safety.
