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.
TO THE OVERSEER. WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. A PSALM OF DAVID. In my calling answer me, O God of my righteousness. In adversity You gave enlargement to me; Favor 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?
Sons of men! Until when [is] my glory for shame? You love a vain thing, you seek a lie. (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.
And know that YHWH Has separated a saintly one to Himself. YHWH hears in my calling to Him.
4 Be angry, and sin not: the things you say in your hearts, be sorry for them upon your beds.
“Tremble, and do not sin”; Say [thus] in your heart on your bed, And be silent. (Selah)
5 Offer up the sacrifice of justice, and trust in the Lord: many say, Who sheweth us good things?
Sacrifice sacrifices of righteousness, And trust in YHWH.
6 The light of thy countenance O Lord, is signed upon us: thou hast given gladness in my heart.
Many are saying, “Who shows us good?” Lift on us the light of Your face, O YHWH,
7 By the fruit of their corn, their wine and oil, they are multiplied.
You have given joy in my heart, From the time their grain and their wine Have been multiplied.
8 In peace in the selfsame I will sleep, and I will rest: For thou, O Lord, singularly hast settled me in hope.
Together I lie down and sleep in peace, For You, O YHWH, alone, Cause me to dwell in confidence!
