Psalm 4 ©

David prays for a gracious hearing. He rebukes his enemies, and exhorts them to repentance; he is cheered, content, and at rest in the grace of God.

To the chief 1Musician on 2Neginoth, A Psalm of David.

1

HEAR me when I 3call, O God of my 4righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

2

5O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my 6glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after 7leasing?a8Selah.

3

But know that the LORD 9hath set apart 10him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.

4

11Standb in awe, and sin not: 12commune with your own heart upon your bed, and 13be still. Selah.

5

Offerc the 14sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.

6

There be many that say, 15Who will 16shew us any good? LORD, 17lift thou up the 18light of thy countenance upon us.

7

19Thou hast put 20gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.

8

Id will both lay me down in 21peace, and sleep: 22for thou, LORD, only makest me dwelle in safety.
