Psalm 4

Psalm 4

To the Chief Musician. With Stringed Instruments. A Psalm of David.

¹Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness!

You have relieved me in my distress;

²Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.

²How long, O you sons of men,

Will you turn my glory to shame?

How long will you love worthlessness

And seek falsehood?

Selah

³But know that ^athe Lord has ³set apart for Himself him who is godly;

The Lord will hear when I call to Him.

^4bBe ⁴angry, and do not sin.

^cMeditate within your heart on your bed, and be still.

Selah

⁵Offer ^dthe sacrifices of righteousness,

And ^eput your trust in the Lord.

⁶There are many who say,

“Who will show us any good?”

^fLord, lift up the light of Your countenance upon us.

⁷You have put ^ggladness in my heart,

More than in the season that their grain and wine increased.

^8hI will both lie down in peace, and sleep;

ⁱFor You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.
