1890 Darby's Translation of the Holy Scriptures (DBY)

Psalms 4

1 David prayeth for audience. 2 He reproveth and exhorteth his enemies. 6 Man's happiness is in God's favour.

 4:1 ¶ [[To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.]] When I call, answer me, O God of my righteousness: in pressure thou hast enlarged me; be gracious unto me, and hear my prayer.

 4:2 Ye sons of men, till when is my glory [to be put] to shame? [How long] will ye love vanity, will ye seek after a lie? Selah.

 4:3 But know that Jehovah hath set apart the pious [man] for himself: Jehovah will hear when I call unto him.

 4:4 Be moved with anger, and sin not; meditate in your own hearts upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

 4:5 Offer sacrifices of righteousness, and confide in Jehovah.

 4:6 Many say, Who shall cause us to see good? Lift up upon us the light of thy countenance, O Jehovah.

 4:7 Thou hast put joy in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their new wine was in abundance.

 4:8 In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; for thou, Jehovah, alone makest me to dwell in safety.
