Psalms 4

¹Answer 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.

²O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? `How long' will ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? Selah

³But know that Jehovah hath set apart for himself him that is godly: Jehovah will hear when I call unto him.

⁴Stand in awe, and sin not: Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah

⁵Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, And put your trust in Jehovah.

⁶Many there are that say, Who will show us `any' good? Jehovah, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

⁷Thou hast put gladness in my heart, More than `they have' when their grain and their new wine are increased.

⁸In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; For thou, Jehovah, alone makest me dwell in safety. Psalm 5 For the Chief Musician; with the Nehiloth. A Psalm of David.
