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.
For the End, a Song of David among [the ]Psalms. When I called upon [him], the God of my righteousness heard me: you have made room for me in tribulation; pity me, and listen to 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 you sons of men, how long [will you be] slow of heart? therefore do you love vanity, and seek falsehood? (Pause)
3 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.
But know you that the Lord has done wondrous things for his holy one: the Lord will hear me when I cry to him.
4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
Be you angry, and sin not; feel compunction upon your beds for what you say in your hearts. (Pause)
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
Offer the sacrifice of righteousness, and trust in the Lord.
6 [There be] many that say, Who will shew us [any] good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
Many say, Who will show us good things? the light of your countenance, O Lord, has been manifested towards us.
7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time [that] their corn and their wine increased.
You have put gladness into my heart: they have been satisfied with the fruit of their corn and wine and oil.
8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.
I will both lie down in peace and sleep: for you, Lord, only have caused me to dwell securely.
