Psalms 4
1 For the End, a Song of David among [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.
To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. When I call, answer me, O God of my righteousness: in pressure thou hast enlarged me; be gracious unto me, and hear my prayer.
2 O you sons of men, how long [will you be] slow of heart? therefore do you love vanity, and seek falsehood? (Pause)
Ye sons of men, till when is my glory [to be put] to shame? [How long] will ye love vanity, will ye seek after a lie? (Selah)
3 But know you that the Lord has done wondrous things for his holy one: the Lord will hear me when I cry to him.
But know that Jehovah hath set apart the pious [man] for himself: Jehovah will hear when I call unto him.
4 Be you angry, and sin not; feel compunction upon your beds for what you say in your hearts. (Pause)
Be moved with anger, and sin not; meditate in your own hearts upon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
5 Offer the sacrifice of righteousness, and trust in the Lord.
Offer sacrifices of righteousness, and confide in Jehovah.
6 Many say, Who will show us good things? the light of your countenance, O Lord, has been manifested towards us.
Many say, Who shall cause us to see good? Lift up upon us the light of thy countenance, O Jehovah.
7 You have put gladness into my heart: they have been satisfied with the fruit of their corn and wine and oil.
Thou hast put joy in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their new wine was in abundance.
8 I will both lie down in peace and sleep: for you, Lord, only have caused me to dwell securely.
In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; for thou, Jehovah, alone makest me to dwell in safety.
