Psalms 4
1 To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. When I call, answer me, O God of my righteousness: in pressure thou hast enlarged me; be gracious unto me, and hear my prayer.
For the End, a Song of David among [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 Ye sons of men, till when is my glory [to be put] to shame? [How long] will ye love vanity, will ye seek after a lie? (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 hath set apart the pious [man] for himself: Jehovah will hear when I call unto 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 Be moved with anger, and sin not; meditate in your own hearts 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 sacrifices of righteousness, and confide in Jehovah.
Offer the sacrifice of righteousness, and trust in the Lord.
6 Many say, Who shall cause us to see good? Lift up upon us the light of thy countenance, O Jehovah.
Many say, Who will show us good things? the light of your countenance, O Lord, has been manifested towards us.
7 Thou hast put joy in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their new wine was in abundance.
You have put gladness into my heart: they have been satisfied with the fruit of their corn and wine and oil.
8 In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; for thou, Jehovah, alone makest me to dwell in safety.
I will both lie down in peace and sleep: for you, Lord, only have caused me to dwell securely.
