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.
Hear me when I call, O Elohim of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon 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 will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will 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 YHWH hath set apart him that is righteous for himself: YHWH 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.
Stand in awe, 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 YHWH.
6 The light of thy countenance O Lord, is signed upon us: thou hast given gladness in my heart.
There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? YHWH, 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 in the time that their corn and their wine increased.
8 In peace in the selfsame I will sleep, and I will rest: For thou, O Lord, singularly hast settled me in hope.
I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, YHWH, only makest me dwell in safety.
