Psalms 4

¹To the director: with stringed instruments. A psalm of David. When I call, answer me, O God of my righteousness; in my distress you have given me room; be gracious to me and hear my prayer.

²O sons of man, how long will my glory suffer shame? You love what is empty, you seek falsehood. Selah.

³Know that the LORD has set apart the godly for himself; the LORD hears when I call to him.

⁴Tremble, and do not sin; say in your hearts upon your beds, and be still. Selah.

⁵Offer sacrifices of righteousness and trust in the LORD.

⁶Many are saying, 'Who will show us good?' Lift up upon us the light of your face, O LORD.

⁷You have put joy in my heart more than when their grain and new wine abound.

⁸In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
