Psalm 4

1 For the one directing. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. <span class=|reftext|><a href=|#|><b>1</b></a> In my calling out, may You answer me, O God of my righteousness! In [my] distress, You widened [it] for me; show me favor and hear my prayer.

2 O sons of men, until when will my glory be shame? Will you⁺ love vanity, [and] seek after falsehood? Selah

3 and know that YHWH has marked out the faithful one for Himself; YHWH hears in my calling to Him.

4 Tremble and do not sin; speak in your⁺ heart on your⁺ bed, and be silent. Selah

5 Sacrifice the sacrifices of righteousness, and trust in YHWH.

6 Many are saying, “Who will show us good?” Lift upon us the light of Your face, O YHWH.

7 You have put joy in my heart, more than the time when their grain and their new wine have increased.

8 In peace I will both lie down and will sleep, for You alone, O YHWH, cause me to dwell in safety.
