Psalms 4
1 Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness. Thou have enlarged me in distress. Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
For the End, a Song of David amongst [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.
2 O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? Will ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? (Selah)
O you sons of men, how long [will you be] slow of heart? therefore do you love vanity, and seek falsehood? (Pause)
3 But know that Jehovah has set apart for himself him who is holy. Jehovah will hear when I call to him.
But know you that the Lord has done wondrous things for his holy one: the Lord will hear me when I cry to him.
4 Stand in awe, and sin not. Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
Be you angry, and sin not; feel compunction upon your beds for what you say in your hearts. (Pause)
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in Jehovah.
Offer the sacrifice of righteousness, and trust in the Lord.
6 Many there are who say, Who will show us good? Jehovah, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
Many say, Who will show us good things? the light of your countenance, O Lord, has been manifested towards us.
7 Thou have put gladness in my heart more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.
You have put gladness into my heart: they have been satisfied with the fruit of their corn and wine and oil.
8 In peace I will both lie down and sleep, for thou, Jehovah, alone make me dwell in safety.
I will both lie down in peace and sleep: for you, Lord, only have caused me to dwell securely.
