Psalms 4

ASV(i) 1 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.

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. 2 O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor?
[How long] will ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? [Selah 3 But know that Jehovah hath set apart for himself him that is godly:
Jehovah will hear when I call unto him. 4 Stand in awe, and sin not:
Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. [Selah
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness,
And put your trust in Jehovah. 6 Many there are that say,
Who will show us [any] good?
Jehovah, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us. 7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart,
More than [they have] when their grain and their new wine are increased. 8 In peace will I both lay me down and sleep;
For thou, Jehovah, alone makest me dwell in safety.
