Chap. 4
1 To the chief musician upon stringed instruments: a Psalm of David.
2 When I call, answer thou me, O God of my righteousness; in adversity thou hast made room for me: be merciful to me and hear my prayer.
3 Ye sons of men, how long [shall] my glory [be] for a shame? ye love vanity, ye seek a lie. Selah.
4 But know ye that Jehovah hath set apart him that is godly for himself: Jehovah heareth when I call unto him.
5 Tremble and sin not; commune in your heart upon your bed and be still. Selah.
6 Sacrifice the sacrifices of righteousness, and trust in Jehovah.
7 Many are saying, “Who will show us good?” Lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us, O Jehovah.
8 Thou hast put joy into my heart more than at the time their corn and their wine were increased.
9 In peace I will both lie down and sleep, for thou alone, O Jehovah, causest me to dwell safely.
