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