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 Leader; with string-music. A Psalm of David. Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness, Thou who didst set me free when I was in distress; be gracious unto 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 put to shame, in that 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 the LORD hath set apart the godly man as His own; the LORD will hear when I call unto Him.
4 'Tremble ye, and do not sin;' Say ye [thus] in your heart on your bed, And be ye silent. (Selah)
Tremble, 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 the LORD.
6 Many are saying, 'Who doth show us good?' Lift on us the light of Thy face, O Jehovah,
Many there are that say: 'Oh that we could see some good!' LORD, 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 hast put gladness in my heart, more than when their corn and their wine increase.
8 In peace together I lie down and sleep, For Thou, O Jehovah, alone, In confidence dost cause me to dwell!
In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; for Thou, LORD, makest me dwell alone in safety.
