Psalms 4

1Unto the end, in verses. A psalm for David.

1To the Overseer with Stringed Instruments. --A Psalm of David. In my calling answer Thou me, O God of my righteousness. In adversity Thou gavest enlargement to me; Favour me, and hear my prayer.

2When I called upon him, the God of my justice heard me: when I was in distress, thou hast enlarged me. Have mercy on me: and hear my prayer.

2Sons of men! till when <FI>is<Fi> my glory for shame? Ye love a vain thing, ye seek a lie. Selah.

3O ye sons of men, how long will you be dull of heart? why do you love vanity, and seek after lying?

3And know ye that Jehovah Hath separated a saintly one to Himself. Jehovah heareth in my calling to Him.

4Know ye also that the Lord hath made his holy one wonderful: the Lord will hear me when I shall cry unto him.

4`Tremble ye, and do not sin;' Say ye <FI>thus<Fi> in your heart on your bed, And be ye silent. Selah.

5Be ye angry, and sin not: the things you say in your hearts, be sorry for them upon your beds.

5Sacrifice ye sacrifices of righteousness, And trust ye unto Jehovah.

6Offer up the sacrifice of justice, and trust in the Lord: many say, Who sheweth us good things?

6Many are saying, `Who doth show us good?' Lift on us the light of Thy face, O Jehovah,

7The light of thy countenance, O Lord, is signed upon us: thou hast given gladness in my heart.

7Thou hast given joy in my heart, From the time their corn and their wine Have been multiplied.

8By the fruit of their corn, their wine, and oil, they are multiplied:

8In peace together I lie down and sleep, For Thou, O Jehovah, alone, In confidence dost cause me to dwell!

9In peace in the self same I will sleep, and I will rest:
