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.
Hear me when I call, O God 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 shall my glory be turned into dishonour? [how long] will ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? (Selah)
O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after a lie? (Selah)
3 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.
But know that Yhwh hath set apart him that is godly 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)
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 the LORD.
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in Yhwh.
6 Many there be that say, Who will shew us [any] good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
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 [they have] when their corn and their wine are increased.
Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their grain and their wine increased.
8 In peace will I both lay me down and sleep: for thou, LORD, alone makest me dwell in safety.
I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Yhwh, only makest me dwell in safety.
