Psalms 4
1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm of David. Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me [when I was] in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved my distress; show me grace and hear my prayer.
2 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)
How long, O men, will my honor be maligned? How long will you love vanity and seek after lies?
3 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call to him.
Know that the LORD has set apart the godly for Himself; the LORD hears when I call to Him.
4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
Be angry, yet do not sin; on your bed, search your heart and be still.
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
Offer the sacrifices of the righteous and trust in the LORD.
6 [There are] many that say, Who will show us [any] good? LORD, lift thou upon us the light of thy countenance.
Many ask, “Who can show us the good?” Shine the light of Your face upon us, O LORD.
7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time [when] their corn and their wine increased.
You have filled my heart with more joy than when grain and new wine abound.
8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep; for thou only, LORD, makest me dwell in safety.
I will lie down and sleep in peace, for You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
