PSALM 4
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
To the chief Musician on Neginoth,
A Psalm of David.
1Give ear unto me when I call,
God of my righteousness:
Have mercy, hear my pray'r; thou hast
enlarg'd me in distress.
2O ye the sons of men! how long
will ye love vanities?
How long my glory turn to shame,
and will ye follow lies?
3But know, that for himself the Lord
the godly man doth choose:
The Lord, when I on him do call,
to hear will not refuse.
4Fear, and sin not; talk with your heart on bed,
and silent be.
5Off 'rings present of righteousness,
and in the Lord trust ye.
6O who will shew us any good?
is that which many say:
But of thy countenance the light,
Lord, lift on us alway.
7Upon my heart, bestow'd by thee,
more gladness I have found
Than they, ev'n then, when corn and wine
did most with them abound.
8I will both lay me down in peace,
and quiet sleep will take;
Because thou only me to dwell
in safety, Lord, dost make.

Tehillim (Psalms) 4
4
1Answer me when I call, O Elohim of my righteousness! You gave relief to me when I was in distress; Show favour to me, and hear my prayer.
2Till when, O you sons of men, Would you turn my esteem to shame, Would you love emptiness, seek falsehood? Selah.
3But know that יהוה has separated a lovingly-committed one for Himself; יהוה hears when I call to Him.
4Tremble, and do not sin. Speak within your heart on your bed, and be still. Selah.
5Slaughter slaughterings of righteousness, And trust in יהוה.
6Many are saying, “Who would show us good?” יהוה, lift up the light of Your face upon us.
7You have put more gladness in my heart, Than in the season that their grain and wine increased.
8I lie down in peace altogether, and sleep; For You alone, O יהוה, make me dwell in safety.
