Psalm 4

For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm by David.

 ^4:1Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness.
      Give me relief from my distress.
      Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.

 ^4:2You sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor?
      Will you love vanity, and seek after falsehood?

 Selah.

 ^4:3But know that Yahweh has set apart for himself him who is godly:

 Yahweh will hear when I call to him.
      ^4:4Stand in awe, and don't sin.
      Search your own heart on your bed, and be still.

 Selah.

 ^4:5Offer the sacrifices of righteousness.
      Put your trust in Yahweh.

 ^4:6Many say, "Who will show us any good?"
      Yahweh, let the light of your face shine on us.

 ^4:7You have put gladness in my heart,
      More than when their grain and their new wine are increased.

 ^4:8In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep,
      For you, Yahweh alone, make me live in safety.
