4:1 [To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.] Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have given me relief when I was in distress. Be gracious to me and hear my prayer! 4:2 O men, how long shall my honor be turned into shame How long will you love vain words and seek after lies Selah 4:3 But know that the LORD has set apart the godly for himself; the LORD hears when I call to him. 4:4 Be angry, and do not sin; ponder in your own hearts on your beds, and be silent. Selah 4:5 Offer right sacrifices, and put your trust in the LORD. 4:6 There are many who say, "Who will show us some good Lift up the light of your face upon us, O LORD!" 4:7 You have put more joy in my heart than they have when their grain and wine abound. 4:8 In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
