Psalms 4
1 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.
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.
2 O ye sons of men, how long [will ye turn] my glory into shame? [how long] will ye love vanity, [and] seek after leasing? (Selah)
O ye sons of men, how long will you be dull of heart? why do you love vanity, and seek after lying?
3 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.
Know ye also that the Lord hath made his holy one wonderful: the Lord will hear me when I shall cry unto him.
4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
Be angry, and sin not: the things you say in your hearts, be sorry for them upon your beds.
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
Offer up the sacrifice of justice, and trust in the Lord: many say, Who sheweth us good things?
6 [There be] many that say, Who will shew us [any] good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
The light of thy countenance O Lord, is signed upon us: thou hast given gladness in my heart.
7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time [that] their corn and their wine increased.
By the fruit of their corn, their wine and oil, they are multiplied.
8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.
In peace in the selfsame I will sleep, and I will rest: For thou, O Lord, singularly hast settled me in hope.
