Psalms 4
American Standard Version
1
For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness;
Thou hast set me at large when I was in distress:
Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
2
O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor?
How long will ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? [Selah
3
But know that Jehovah hath set apart for himself him that is godly:
Jehovah will hear when I call unto him.
4
Stand in awe, and sin not:
Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. [Selah
5
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness,
And put your trust in Jehovah.
6
Many there are that say, Who will show us any good?
Jehovah, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
7
Thou hast put gladness in my heart,
More than they have when their grain and their new wine are increased.
8
In peace will I both lay me down and sleep;
For thou, Jehovah, alone makest me dwell in safety.
