Psalm 4
1. (0) For the leader. With stringed instruments. A psalm of David:
2. (1) O God, my vindicator! 2 Answer me when I call! 2 When I was distressed, you set me free; 2 now have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
3. (2) Men of rank, how long will you shame my honor, 3 love what is vain, chase after lies? (Selah)
4. (3) Understand that Adonai sets apart 4 the godly person for himself; 4 Adonai will hear when I call to him.
5. (4) You can be angry, but do not sin! 5 Think about this as you lie in bed, 5 and calm down. (Selah)
6. (5) Offer sacrifices rightly, 6 and put your trust in Adonai.
7. (6) Many ask, “Who can show us some good?” 7 Adonai, lift the light of your face over us!
8. (7) You have filled my heart with more joy 8 than all their grain and new wine.
9. (8) I will lie down and sleep in peace; 9 for, Adonai, you alone make me live securely.
