< Psalms 4 >
1 [For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm by David.] Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. You set me free in my distress. Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.
2 You sons of man, how long will you shame my honor, love what is worthless, chase after a lie? (Selah)
3 But know that Jehovah works wonders for his godly one; Jehovah will hear when I call to him.
4 Be angry, but do not sin. Ponder in your heart, but be at rest on your bed. (Selah)
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in Jehovah.
6 Many say, "Who will show us any good?" Jehovah, lift up the light of your face upon us.
7 You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and wine and oil abound.
8 In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you, Jehovah alone, make me live in safety.
