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: thou hast made room for me in tribulation; pity me, and hearken to my prayer.
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.
2 O ye sons of men, how long [will ye be] slow of heart? wherefore do ye love vanity, and seek falsehood? (Pause)
Sons of men! till when [is] my glory for shame? Ye love a vain thing, ye seek a lie. (Selah)
3 But know ye that the Lord has done wondrous things for his holy one: the Lord will hear me when I cry to him.
And know ye that Jehovah Hath separated a saintly one to Himself. Jehovah heareth in my calling to Him.
4 Be ye angry, and sin not; feel compunction upon your beds for what ye say in your hearts. (Pause)
'Tremble ye, and do not sin;' Say ye [thus] in your heart on your bed, And be ye silent. (Selah)
5 Offer the sacrifice of righteousness, and trust in the Lord.
Sacrifice ye sacrifices of righteousness, And trust ye unto Jehovah.
6 Many say, Who will shew us good things? the light of thy countenance, O Lord, has been manifested towards us.
Many are saying, 'Who doth show us good?' Lift on us the light of Thy face, O Jehovah,
7 Thou hast put gladness into my heart: they have been satisfied with the fruit of their corn and wine and oil.
Thou hast given joy in my heart, From the time their corn and their wine Have been multiplied.
8 I will both lie down in peace and sleep: for thou, Lord, only hast caused me to dwell securely.
In peace together I lie down and sleep, For Thou, O Jehovah, alone, In confidence dost cause me to dwell!
