Psalms 004
For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm by David.
1 Answer me when I call, God of my right eousness.
Give me relief from my distress.
Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
2 You sons of men, how long shall my glory
be turned into dishonor?
Will you love vanity and seek after
falsehood? Selah.
3 But know that Yahweh has set apart for
himself him who is godly;
Yahweh will hear when I call to him.
4 Stand in awe, and don’t sin.
Search your own heart on your bed,
and be still. Selah.
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness.
Put your trust in Yahweh.
6 Many say, “Who will show us any good?”
Yahweh, letthe light of your face shine
on us.
7 You have put gladness in my heart,
more than when their grain and their
new wine are increased.
8 In peace I will both lay myself down and
sleep, for you alone, Yahweh, make me live
in safety.
