< 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.
2 Sons of men! Until when [is] my glory for shame? You love a vain thing, you seek a lie. (Selah)
3 And know that YHWH Has separated a saintly one to Himself. YHWH hears in my calling to Him.
4 “Tremble, and do not sin”; Say [thus] in your heart on your bed, And be silent. (Selah)
5 Sacrifice sacrifices of righteousness, And trust in YHWH.
6 Many are saying, “Who shows us good?” Lift on us the light of Your face, O YHWH,
7 You have given joy in my heart, From the time their grain and their wine Have been multiplied.
8 Together I lie down and sleep in peace, For You, O YHWH, alone, Cause me to dwell in confidence!
