Psalm 4


The Safety of the Faithful

To the 1Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.

Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness!
You have relieved me in my distress;
2Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.


2
How long, O you sons of men,
Will you turn my glory to shame?
How long will you love worthlessness
And seek falsehood?
Selah

3
But know that athe Lord has 1set apart for Himself him who is godly;
The Lord will hear when I call to Him.


4
aBe1 angry, and do not sin.
bMeditate within your heart on your bed, and be still.
Selah

5
Offer athe sacrifices of righteousness,
And bput your trust in the Lord.


6
There are many who say,
“Who will show us any good?”
aLord, lift up the light of Your countenance upon us.

7
You have put agladness in my heart,
More than in the season that their grain and wine increased.

8
aI will both lie down in peace, and sleep;
bFor You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.
