Psalmen 4

1. ¹For the Leader; with string-music. A Psalm of David.
2. ²Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness, Thou who didst set me free when I was in distress; be gracious unto me, and hear my prayer.
3. ³O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be put to shame, in that ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? Selah
4. ⁴But know that the LORD hath set apart the godly man as His own; the LORD will hear when I call unto Him.
5. ⁵Tremble, and sin not; commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah
6. ⁶Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
7. ⁷Many there are that say: 'Oh that we could see some good!' LORD, lift Thou up the light of Thy countenance upon us.
8. ⁸Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than when their corn and their wine increase.
9. ⁹In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; for Thou, LORD, makest me dwell alone in safety.
