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.
For the End, a Song of David among [the ]Psalms. When I called upon [him], the God of my righteousness heard me: thou hast made room for me in tribulation; pity me, and hearken to 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 [will ye be] slow of heart? wherefore do ye love vanity, and seek falsehood? (Pause)
3 And know ye that Jehovah Hath separated a saintly one to Himself. Jehovah heareth in my calling to Him.
But know ye that the Lord has done wondrous things for his holy one: the Lord will hear me when I cry to him.
4 'Tremble ye, and do not sin;' Say ye [thus] in your heart on your bed, And be ye silent. (Selah)
Be ye angry, and sin not; feel compunction upon your beds for what ye say in your hearts. (Pause)
5 Sacrifice ye sacrifices of righteousness, And trust ye unto Jehovah.
Offer the sacrifice of righteousness, and trust in the Lord.
6 Many are saying, 'Who doth show us good?' Lift on us the light of Thy face, O Jehovah,
Many say, Who will shew us good things? the light of thy countenance, O Lord, has been manifested towards us.
7 Thou hast given joy in my heart, From the time their corn and their wine Have been multiplied.
Thou hast put gladness into my heart: they have been satisfied with the fruit of their corn and wine and oil.
8 In peace together I lie down and sleep, For Thou, O Jehovah, alone, In confidence dost cause me to dwell!
I will both lie down in peace and sleep: for thou, Lord, only hast caused me to dwell securely.
