Psalm 4
Complete Jewish Bible
4 (0) For the leader. With stringed instruments. A psalm of David:
2 (1) O God, my vindicator!
Answer me when I call!
When I was distressed, you set me free;
now have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
3 (2) Men of rank, how long will you shame my honor,
love what is vain, chase after lies? (Selah)
4 (3) Understand that Adonai sets apart
the godly person for himself;
Adonai will hear when I call to him.
5 (4) You can be angry, but do not sin!
Think about this as you lie in bed,
and calm down. (Selah)
6 (5) Offer sacrifices rightly,
and put your trust in Adonai.
7 (6) Many ask, “Who can show us some good?”
Adonai, lift the light of your face over us!
8 (7) You have filled my heart with more joy
than all their grain and new wine.
9 (8) I will lie down and sleep in peace;
for, Adonai, you alone make me live securely.
Salmos 4
La Biblia de las Américas
Oración vespertina de confianza en Dios
Para el director del coro[a]; para instrumentos de cuerda. Salmo de David.
4 Cuando clamo(A), respóndeme(B), oh Dios de mi justicia.
En la angustia me has aliviado[b](C);
ten piedad de mí(D), escucha mi oración(E).
2 Hijos de hombres, ¿hasta cuándo cambiaréis mi honra[c](F) en deshonra(G)?
¿Hasta cuándo amaréis la vanidad[d](H) y buscaréis la mentira(I)? (Selah[e])
3 Sabed, pues, que el Señor ha apartado[f](J) al piadoso(K) para sí;
el Señor oye cuando a Él clamo(L).
4 Temblad[g](M), y[h] no pequéis(N);
meditad[i] en vuestro corazón sobre vuestro lecho(O), y callad. (Selah)
5 Ofreced sacrificios de justicia(P),
y confiad en el Señor(Q).
6 Muchos dicen: ¿Quién nos mostrará el bien(R)?
¡Alza, oh Señor, sobre nosotros la luz de tu rostro(S)!
7 Alegría pusiste en mi corazón(T),
mayor que la de ellos cuando abundan su grano y su mosto.
8 En paz me acostaré y así también[j] dormiré(U);
porque solo tú, Señor, me haces habitar seguro(V).

Psalm 4
King James Version
4 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.
2 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.
3 But know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the Lord will hear when I call unto him.
4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the Lord.
6 There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? Lord, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.
8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety.
