‏ Psalms 4

For the End, a Song of David among the Psalms.

1 When I called upon him, the God of my righteousness heard me: you have made room for me in tribulation; pity me, and listen to my prayer.
2 O you⌃ sons of men, how long will you⌃ be ^{▼▼4:2 Lit. heavy of heart.} slow of heart? therefore do you⌃ love vanity, and seek falsehood? Pause.
3 But know you⌃ that the Lord has done wondrous things for his holy one: the Lord will hear me when I cry to him.
4 ^b Be you⌃ angry, and sin not; feel compunction upon your beds for what you⌃ say in your hearts. Pause.
5 Offer the sacrifice of righteousness, and trust in the Lord.
6 Many say, Who will show us good things? the light of your countenance, O Lord, has been manifested towards us.
7 You have put gladness into my heart: they have been satisfied with the fruit of their corn and wine and oil.
8 I will ^{▼▼4:8 Or. at the same time.} both lie down in peace and sleep: for you, Lord, only have caused me to dwell securely.
