Yahweh Makes Me Abide in Safety

¹Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness![#4:1 Who maintains my right]

You have relieved me in my distress;

Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.

²¶O sons of men, how long will my glory become a reproach?

How long will you love what is worthless and seek falsehood? Selah.

³But know that Yahweh has set apart the holy one for Himself;[#4:3 Or dealt wonderfully with]

Yahweh hears when I call to Him.

⁴¶Tremble, and do not sin;[#4:4 With anger or fear; #4:4 Or but]

Ponder in your heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

⁵Offer the sacrifices of righteousness,[#4:5 Or righteous sacrifices]

And trust in Yahweh.

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

Lift up the light of Your face upon us, O Yahweh!

⁷You have put gladness in my heart,

More than when their grain and new wine abound.

⁸In peace I will both lie down and sleep,[#4:8 Or at the same time]

For You alone, O Yahweh, make me to abide in safety.
