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.
Unto the end, in verses. A psalm for David. When I called upon him, the God of my justice heard me: when I was in distress, thou hast enlarged me. Have mercy on 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 will you be dull of heart? why do you love vanity, and seek after lying?
3 And know ye that Jehovah Hath separated a saintly one to Himself. Jehovah heareth in my calling to Him.
Know ye also that the Lord hath made his holy one wonderful: the Lord will hear me when I shall cry unto him.
4 'Tremble ye, and do not sin;' Say ye [thus] in your heart on your bed, And be ye silent. (Selah)
Be angry, and sin not: the things you say in your hearts, be sorry for them upon your beds.
5 Sacrifice ye sacrifices of righteousness, And trust ye unto Jehovah.
Offer up the sacrifice of justice, and trust in the Lord: many say, Who sheweth us good things?
6 Many are saying, 'Who doth show us good?' Lift on us the light of Thy face, O Jehovah,
The light of thy countenance O Lord, is signed upon us: thou hast given gladness in my heart.
7 Thou hast given joy in my heart, From the time their corn and their wine Have been multiplied.
By the fruit of their corn, their wine and oil, they are multiplied.
8 In peace together I lie down and sleep, For Thou, O Jehovah, alone, In confidence dost cause me to dwell!
In peace in the selfsame I will sleep, and I will rest: For thou, O Lord, singularly hast settled me in hope.
