Psalms 4
1 Unto the end, in verses. A psalm for David. When I called upon him, the God of my justice heard me: when I was in distress, thou hast enlarged me. Have mercy on me: and hear my prayer.
For the Leader; with string-music. A Psalm of David. Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness, Thou who didst set me free when I was in distress; be gracious unto me, and hear my prayer.
2 O ye sons of men, how long will you be dull of heart? why do you love vanity, and seek after lying?
O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be put to shame, in that ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? (Selah)
3 Know ye also that the Lord hath made his holy one wonderful: the Lord will hear me when I shall cry unto him.
But know that the LORD hath set apart the godly man as His own; the LORD will hear when I call unto Him.
4 Be angry, and sin not: the things you say in your hearts, be sorry for them upon your beds.
Tremble, and sin not; commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
5 Offer up the sacrifice of justice, and trust in the Lord: many say, Who sheweth us good things?
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
6 The light of thy countenance O Lord, is signed upon us: thou hast given gladness in my heart.
Many there are that say: 'Oh that we could see some good!' LORD, lift Thou up the light of Thy countenance upon us.
7 By the fruit of their corn, their wine and oil, they are multiplied.
Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than when their corn and their wine increase.
8 In peace in the selfsame I will sleep, and I will rest: For thou, O Lord, singularly hast settled me in hope.
In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; for Thou, LORD, makest me dwell alone in safety.
