Psalm 4

1Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. Give me relief from my distress. Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer. 2Will you love vanity, and seek after falsehood? You sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? Selah. 3Yahweh will hear when I call to him. But know that Yahweh has set apart for himself him who is godly: 4Search your own heart on your bed, and be still. Stand in awe, and don’t sin. Selah. 5Put your trust in Yahweh. Offer the sacrifices of righteousness. 6Yahweh, let the light of your face shine on us. Many say, “Who will show us any good?” 7more than when their grain and their new wine are increased. You have put gladness in my heart, 8for you, Yahweh alone, make me live in safety. In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep,
