Psalms 4
Answer Me When I Call
To the achoirmaster: with bstringed instruments. A Psalm of David.
1 Answer me when I call, O God of my crighteousness!You have dgiven me relief when I was in distress.
Be gracious to me and hear my prayer!
2 O men, ▼
▼Or O men of rank
how long shall my honor be turned into shame?How long will you love vain words and seek after flies? Selah
3But know that the Lord has gset apart hthe godly for himself;
the Lord hears when I call to him.
4 iBe angry, ▼
▼Or Be agitated
and do not sin;kponder in your own hearts lon your beds, and be silent. Selah
5Offer mright sacrifices,
and put your ntrust in the Lord.
6 There are many who say, “Who will show us some good?
oLift up pthe light of your face upon us, O Lord!”
7You have put qmore joy in my heart
than they have when their grain and wine abound.
8 In peace I will both rlie down and sleep;
for you alone, O Lord, make me sdwell in safety.

The Lord Is My Shepherd
A Psalm of David.
1 The Lord is my tshepherd; I shall not uwant.2He makes me lie down in green vpastures.
He leads me beside still waters. ▼
▼Hebrew beside waters of rest
3He xrestores my soul.
He yleads me in zpaths of righteousness ▼
▼Or in right paths
for his abname’s sake.
4 Even though I acwalk through the valley of adthe shadow of death, ▼
▼Or the valley of deep darkness
I will affear no evil,
for agyou are with me;
your ahrod and your staff,
they comfort me.
5 You aiprepare a table before me
in ajthe presence of my enemies;
you akanoint my head with oil;
my alcup overflows.
6Surely ▼
▼Or Only
goodness and mercy ▼▼Or steadfast love
shall follow meall the days of my life,
and I shall aodwell ▼
▼Or shall return to dwell
in the house of the Lordaqforever. ▼
▼Hebrew for length of days
