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.
Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: you have enlarged me when I was in distress; 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 you sons of men, how long will you turn my glory into shame? how long will you love vanity, and seek after leasing? (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 has set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call to him.
4 “Tremble, and do not sin”; Say [thus] in your heart on your bed, And be silent. (Selah)
Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart on 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,
There be many that say, Who will show us any good? LORD, lift you up the light of your countenance on us.
7 You have given joy in my heart, From the time their grain and their wine Have been multiplied.
You have put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.
8 Together I lie down and sleep in peace, For You, O YHWH, alone, Cause me to dwell in confidence!
I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for you, LORD, only make me dwell in safety.
