Psalms - Chapter 4 | English Standard Version

  • 1. To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have given me relief when I was in distress. Be gracious to me and hear my prayer!
  • 2. O men, how long shall my honor be turned into shame? How long will you love vain words and seek after lies? Selah.
  • 3. But know that the LORD has set apart the godly for himself; the LORD hears when I call to him.
  • 4. Be angry, and do not sin; ponder in your own hearts on your beds, and be silent. Selah.
  • 5. Offer right sacrifices, and put your trust in the LORD.
  • 6. There are many who say, "Who will show us some good? Lift up the light of your face upon us, O LORD!"
  • 7. You have put more joy in my heart than they have when their grain and wine abound.
  • 8. In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
