Psalms 4
1 To the Overseer with Stringed Instruments. — A Psalm of David. In my calling answer Thou me, O God of my righteousness. In adversity Thou gavest enlargement to me; Favour me, and hear my prayer.
Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness. Thou have enlarged me in distress. Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
2 Sons of men! till when [is] my glory for shame? Ye love a vain thing, ye seek a lie. (Selah)
O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? Will ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? (Selah)
3 And know ye that Jehovah Hath separated a saintly one to Himself. Jehovah heareth in my calling to Him.
But know that Jehovah has set apart for himself him who is holy. Jehovah will hear when I call to him.
4 'Tremble ye, and do not sin;' Say ye [thus] in your heart on your bed, And be ye silent. (Selah)
Stand in awe, and sin not. Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
5 Sacrifice ye sacrifices of righteousness, And trust ye unto Jehovah.
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in Jehovah.
6 Many are saying, 'Who doth show us good?' Lift on us the light of Thy face, O Jehovah,
Many there are who say, Who will show us good? Jehovah, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
7 Thou hast given joy in my heart, From the time their corn and their wine Have been multiplied.
Thou have put gladness in my heart more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.
8 In peace together I lie down and sleep, For Thou, O Jehovah, alone, In confidence dost cause me to dwell!
In peace I will both lie down and sleep, for thou, Jehovah, alone make me dwell in safety.
