< Psalms 4 >
1 For the chief musician; on stringed instruments. A psalm of David. Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness; give me room when I am hemmed in. Have mercy on me and listen to my prayer.
2 You people, how long will you turn my honor into shame? How long will you love that which is worthless and seek after lies? (Selah)
3 But know that Yahweh sets apart the godly for himself. Yahweh will hear when I call to him.
4 Tremble in fear, but do not sin! Meditate in your heart on your bed and be silent. (Selah)
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness and put your trust in Yahweh.
6 Many say, “Who will show us anything good?” Yahweh, lift up the light of your face on us.
7 You have given my heart more gladness than others have when their grain and new wine abound.
8 It is in peace that I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Yahweh, make me safe and secure.
