Psalms 4

Superscription to the chief musician on Neginoth

לַמְנַצֵּחַ בִּנְגִינוֹת מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִֽד׃

To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm of David.

בְּקָרְאִי עֲנֵנִי׀ אֱלֹהֵי צִדְקִי בַּצָּר הִרְחַבְתָּ לִּי חָנֵּנִי וּשְׁמַע תְּפִלָּתִֽי׃

Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

בְּנֵי אִישׁ עַד-מֶה כְבוֹדִי לִכְלִמָּה תֶּאֱהָבוּן רִיק תְּבַקְשׁוּ כָזָב סֶֽלָה׃

O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.

וּדְעוּ כִּֽי-הִפְלָה יְהוָה חָסִיד לוֹ יְהוָה יִשְׁמַע בְּקָרְאִי אֵלָֽיו׃

But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.

רִגְזוּ וְֽאַל-תֶּחֱטָאוּ אִמְרוּ בִלְבַבְכֶם עַֽל-מִשְׁכַּבְכֶם וְדֹמּוּ סֶֽלָה׃

Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

זִבְחוּ זִבְחֵי-צֶדֶק וּבִטְחוּ אֶל-יְהוָֽה׃

Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.

רַבִּים אֹמְרִים מִֽי-יַרְאֵנוּ טוֹב נְֽסָה-עָלֵינוּ אוֹר פָּנֶיךָ יְהוָֽה׃

There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

נָתַתָּה שִׂמְחָה בְלִבִּי מֵעֵת דְּגָנָם וְתִֽירוֹשָׁם רָֽבּוּ׃

Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.

בְּשָׁלוֹם יַחְדָּו אֶשְׁכְּבָה וְאִישָׁן כִּֽי-אַתָּה יְהוָה לְבָדָד לָבֶטַח תּוֹשִׁיבֵֽנִי׃

I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.
