Psalms 4:1-7 ▼

1 For the choir director. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved me in my distress; Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.

2 O sons of men, how long will my glory become a reproach? How long will you love what is worthless and seek falsehood? Selah.

3 But know that Yahweh has set apart the holy one for Himself; Yahweh hears when I call to Him.

4 Tremble, and do not sin; Ponder in your heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, And trust in Yahweh.

6 Many are saying, “Who will show us good?” Lift up the light of Your face upon us, O Yahweh!

7 You have put gladness in my heart, More than when their grain and new wine abound.
