Psalms 4

David prays to God in his distress Psalm of David for the chief singer; About Neginote

1 Answer me when I cry out, O God of my righteousness! In distress you gave me largesse; Have mercy on me and hear my prayer.

2 Children of men, how long will you turn my glory into infamy? How long will ye love vanity, and seek a lie?

3 Know that the Lord has separated to him who is pious; The Lord hears me when I cry to him.

4 Be angry and do not sin; Consult with your heart on your bed, and be silent.

5 Offer ye sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the Lord.

6 Many say, Who will show us good? Lift up, O Lord, the light of your face upon us.

7 You have put more joy in my heart than theirs in the time when wheat and wine are multiplied to them.

8 In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.
