Psalms 4
1 To the Overseer with Stringed Instruments. — A Psalm of David. In my calling answer Thou me, O God of my righteousness. In adversity Thou gavest enlargement to me; Favour me, and hear my prayer.
Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: you have enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
2 Sons of men! till when [is] my glory for shame? Ye love a vain thing, ye seek a lie. (Selah)
O all of you sons of men, how long will all of you turn my glory into shame? how long will all of you love vanity, and seek after leasing? (Selah)
3 And know ye that Jehovah Hath separated a saintly one to Himself. Jehovah heareth in my calling to Him.
But know that the LORD has set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.
4 'Tremble ye, and do not sin;' Say ye [thus] in your heart on your bed, And be ye silent. (Selah)
Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
5 Sacrifice ye sacrifices of righteousness, And trust ye unto Jehovah.
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
6 Many are saying, 'Who doth show us good?' Lift on us the light of Thy face, O Jehovah,
There be many that say, Who will show us any good? LORD, lift you up the light of your countenance upon us.
7 Thou hast given joy in my heart, From the time their corn and their wine Have been multiplied.
You have put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.
8 In peace together I lie down and sleep, For Thou, O Jehovah, alone, In confidence dost cause me to dwell!
I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for you, LORD, only make me dwell in safety.
