Psalms 4

1 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.

1 When I call, answer me, OGod of my righteousness: in pressure thou hast enlarged me; be gracious unto me, and hear my prayer.

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

2 Ye sons of men, till when is my glory [to be put] to shame? [How long] will ye love vanity, will ye seek after a lie? Selah.

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

3 But know that Jehovah hath set apart the pious [man] for himself: 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

4 Be moved with anger, and sin not; meditate in your own hearts upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

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

5 Offer sacrifices of righteousness, and confide in Jehovah.

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

6 Many say, Who shall cause us to see good? Lift up upon us the light of thy countenance, O Jehovah.

7Thou hast put gladness in my heart, More thanthey havewhen their grain and their new wine are increased.

7 Thou hast put joy in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their new wine was in abundance.

8In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; For thou, Jehovah, alone makest me dwell in safety.

8 In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; for thou, Jehovah, alone makest me to dwell in safety.
