Psalm 4

¹ Answer me when I call, O Elohim of my righteousness! You gave relief to me when I was in distress; Show favour to me, and hear my prayer.

² Till when, O you sons of men, Would you turn my esteem to shame, Would you love emptiness, seek falsehood? Selah.

³ But know that יהוה has separated a lovingly-committed one for Himself; יהוה hears when I call to Him.

⁴ Tremble, and do not sin. Speak within your heart on your bed, and be still. Selah.

⁵ Slaughter slaughterings of righteousness, And trust in יהוה.

⁶ Many are saying, “Who would show us good?” יהוה, lift up the light of Your face upon us.

⁷ You have put more gladness in my heart, Than in the season that their grain and wine increased.

⁸ I lie down in peace altogether, and sleep; For You alone, O יהוה, make me dwell in safety.
