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.
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 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 you be dull of heart? why do you love vanity, and seek after lying?
3 And know that YHWH Has separated a saintly one to Himself. YHWH hears in my calling to 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 “Tremble, and do not sin”; Say [thus] in your heart on your bed, And be silent. (Selah)
Be angry, and sin not: the things you say in your hearts, be sorry for them upon your beds.
5 Sacrifice sacrifices of righteousness, And trust in YHWH.
Offer up the sacrifice of justice, and trust in the Lord: many say, Who sheweth us good things?
6 Many are saying, “Who shows us good?” Lift on us the light of Your face, O YHWH,
The light of thy countenance O Lord, is signed upon us: thou hast given gladness in my heart.
7 You have given joy in my heart, From the time their grain and their wine Have been multiplied.
By the fruit of their corn, their wine and oil, they are multiplied.
8 Together I lie down and sleep in peace, For You, O YHWH, alone, Cause me to dwell in confidence!
In peace in the selfsame I will sleep, and I will rest: For thou, O Lord, singularly hast settled me in hope.
