PSALM 4
The Safety of the Faithful
To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.
1 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness!
​​You have relieved me in my distress;
​​Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
​
2 ​​How long, O you sons of men,
​​Will you turn my glory to shame?
​​How long will you love worthlessness
​​And seek falsehood? Selah
3 ​​But know that the LORD has set apart[fn] for Himself him who is godly;
​​The LORD will hear when I call to Him.
​
4 ​​Be angry, and do not sin.
​​Meditate within your heart on your bed, and be still. Selah
5 ​​Offer the sacrifices of righteousness,
​​And put your trust in the LORD.
​
6 ​​There are many who say,
​​“Who will show us any good?”
​​LORD, lift up the light of Your countenance upon us.
7 ​​You have put gladness in my heart,
​​More than in the season that their grain and wine increased.
8 ​​I will both lie down in peace, and sleep;
​​For You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
