Psalms 4 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

Safety in Yahweh

1. When I call, answer me, O God of my righteousness. In trouble deliver me. Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.

2. O sons of man, how long will my honor be a disgrace? How long will you love vanity? How long will you seek lies? Selah

3. But know that Yahweh has set apart for himself the faithful one. Yahweh hears when I call to him.

4. Be disturbed but do not sin. Commune in your heart on your bed and be silent. Selah

5. Offer correct sacrifices, and trust in Yahweh.

6. Many are saying, “Who will show us something good?” Lift up over us the light of your face, O Yahweh.

7. You have put gladness in my heart more than when their grain and their wine abound.

8. In peace I will lie down and sleep at once, for you alone, O Yahweh, make me dwell safely.
