Psalms 4 · תהילים

For the chief Musician on strings, A Psalm of David.

Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: Thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

O sons of men, how long will you turn my glory into shame? you love vanity, and seek after falsehood. (Sela.)

But know that the Lord has set apart the godly man as his own: the Lord will hear when I call to him.

Tremble, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. (Sela.)

Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the Lord.

There are many who say, Who will show us good? Lord, lift Thou up the light of Thy countenance upon us.

Thou hast put more gladness in my heart than they have whose corn and wine are increased.

I will both lie down and sleep, in peace: for Thou, Lord, alone, makest me to dwell in safety.
