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 Leader; with string-music. A Psalm of David. Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness, Thou who didst set me free when I was in distress; be gracious unto 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 shall my glory be put to shame, in that ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? (Selah)
3 And know that YHWH Has separated a saintly one to Himself. YHWH hears in my calling to Him.
But know that the LORD hath set apart the godly man as His own; the LORD will hear when I call unto Him.
4 “Tremble, and do not sin”; Say [thus] in your heart on your bed, And be silent. (Selah)
Tremble, and sin not; commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
5 Sacrifice sacrifices of righteousness, And trust in YHWH.
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
6 Many are saying, “Who shows us good?” Lift on us the light of Your face, O YHWH,
Many there are that say: 'Oh that we could see some good!' LORD, lift Thou up the light of Thy countenance upon us.
7 You have given joy in my heart, From the time their grain and their wine Have been multiplied.
Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than when their corn and their wine increase.
8 Together I lie down and sleep in peace, For You, O YHWH, alone, Cause me to dwell in confidence!
In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; for Thou, LORD, makest me dwell alone in safety.
