Psalms 4
1 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.
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 you sons of men, how long [will you be] slow of heart? therefore do you love vanity, and seek falsehood? (Pause)
Sons of men! Until when [is] my glory for shame? You love a vain thing, you seek a lie. (Selah)
3 But know you that the Lord has done wondrous things for his holy one: the Lord will hear me when I cry to him.
And know that YHWH Has separated a saintly one to Himself. YHWH hears in my calling to Him.
4 Be you angry, and sin not; feel compunction upon your beds for what you say in your hearts. (Pause)
“Tremble, and do not sin”; Say [thus] in your heart on your bed, And be silent. (Selah)
5 Offer the sacrifice of righteousness, and trust in the Lord.
Sacrifice sacrifices of righteousness, And trust in YHWH.
6 Many say, Who will show us good things? the light of your countenance, O Lord, has been manifested towards us.
Many are saying, “Who shows us good?” Lift on us the light of Your face, O YHWH,
7 You have put gladness into my heart: they have been satisfied with the fruit of their corn and wine and oil.
You have given joy in my heart, From the time their grain and their wine Have been multiplied.
8 I will both lie down in peace and sleep: for you, Lord, only have caused me to dwell securely.
Together I lie down and sleep in peace, For You, O YHWH, alone, Cause me to dwell in confidence!
