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 chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm of David. Hear me when I call, O God 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 the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call to 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 the LORD.
6 The light of thy countenance O Lord, is signed upon us: thou hast given gladness in my heart.
[There are] many that say, Who will show us [any] good? LORD, lift thou upon us the light of thy countenance.
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 [when] 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 only, LORD, makest me dwell in safety.
