4:1  For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm by David. Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. Give me relief from my distress. Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.

4:2  You sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? Will you love vanity, and seek after falsehood? Selah.

4:3  But know that Yahweh has set apart for himself him who is godly: Yahweh will hear when I call to him.

4:4  Stand in awe, and don't sin. Search your own heart on your bed, and be still. Selah.

4:5  Offer the sacrifices of righteousness. Put your trust in Yahweh.

4:6  Many say, "Who will show us any good?" Yahweh, let the light of your face shine on us.

4:7  You have put gladness in my heart, More than when their grain and their new wine are increased.

4:8  In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, For you, Yahweh alone, make me live in safety.
