Psalms 4
World English Bible
1
For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm by David. Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness.
Give me relief from my distress.
Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
2
You sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor?
Will you love vanity and seek after falsehood? Selah.
3
But know that Yahweh has set apart for himself him who is godly;
Yahweh will hear when I call to him.
4
Stand in awe, and don’t sin.
Search your own heart on your bed, and be still. Selah.
5
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness.
Put your trust in Yahweh.
6
Many say, “Who will show us any good?”
Yahweh, let the light of your face shine on us.
7
You have put gladness in my heart,
more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.
8
In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep,
for you alone, Yahweh, make me live in safety.
