Psalms 4

¹To the choirmaster : with stringed instruments . A Psalm of David . Answer me when I call , O God of my righteousness ! You have given me relief when I was in distress . Be gracious to me and hear my prayer !

²O men , how long shall my honor be turned into shame ? How long will you love vain words and seek after lies ? Selah

³But know that the Lord has set apart the godly for himself; the Lord hears when I call to him.

⁴Be angry , and do not sin ; ponder in your own hearts on your beds , and be silent . Selah

⁵Offer right sacrifices , and put your trust in the Lord.

⁶There are many who say , Who will show us some good ? Lift up the light of your face upon us, O Lord!

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

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