Psalms 4

Safety in Yahweh

1When I call, answer me, O God of my righteousness.[#Or “vindication”]

In trouble deliver me.

Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.

2O sons of man, how long will my honor be a disgrace?[#Or “glory”]

How long will you love vanity?

How long will you seek lies? Selah

3But know that Yahweh has set apart for himself the faithful one.[#Or “treated specially”; #Or “pious, godly one”]

Yahweh hears when I call to him.

4Be disturbed but do not sin.

Commune in your heart on your bed and be silent. Selah

5Offer correct sacrifices,[#Or “right sacrifices”]

and trust in Yahweh.

6Many are saying, “Who will show us something good?”

Lift up over us the light of your face, O Yahweh.

7You have put gladness in my heart

more than when their grain and their wine abound.

8In peace I will lie down and sleep at once,[#Literally “together”]

for you alone, O Yahweh, make me dwell safely.
