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 Elohim of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon 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 ye turn my glory into shame? how long will 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 YHWH hath set apart him that is righteous for himself: YHWH 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)
Stand in awe, 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 YHWH.
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 shew us any good? YHWH, 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 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 thou, YHWH, only makest me dwell in safety.
