Plena confianza en el Señor

(1) Del maestro de coro, con instrumentos de cuerda. Salmo de David.

(2) Dios y defensor mío,
¡contéstame cuando te llame!
Tú, que en mi angustia me diste alivio,
¡ten compasión de mí y escucha mi oración!

(3) Ustedes, que se creen grandes señores,
¿hasta cuándo ofenderán mi honor?,
¿hasta cuándo desearán y buscarán
lo que no tiene sentido,
lo que sólo es falsedad?
(4) Sepan que el Señor prefiere al hombre que le es fiel;
sepan que el Señor me escucha cuando lo llamo.
(5) ¡Tiemblen y no pequen más!
Ya acostados, y en silencio,
examinen su propia conciencia;
(6) ofrezcan sacrificios sinceros
y confíen en el Señor.

(7) Muchos dicen: «¿Quién nos mostrará la dicha?»
¡Señor, míranos con buenos ojos!
(8) Tú has puesto en mi corazón más alegría
que en quienes tienen trigo y vino en abundancia.

(9) Yo me acuesto tranquilo y me duermo en seguida,
pues tú, Señor, me haces vivir confiado.

Psalm 4[a]

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm of David.

Answer me(A) when I call to you,
    my righteous God.
Give me relief from my distress;(B)
    have mercy(C) on me and hear my prayer.(D)

How long will you people turn my glory(E) into shame?(F)
    How long will you love delusions and seek false gods[b]?[c](G)
Know that the Lord has set apart his faithful servant(H) for himself;
    the Lord hears(I) when I call to him.

Tremble and[d] do not sin;(J)
    when you are on your beds,(K)
    search your hearts and be silent.
Offer the sacrifices of the righteous
    and trust in the Lord.(L)

Many, Lord, are asking, “Who will bring us prosperity?”
    Let the light of your face shine on us.(M)
Fill my heart(N) with joy(O)
    when their grain and new wine(P) abound.

In peace(Q) I will lie down and sleep,(R)
    for you alone, Lord,
    make me dwell in safety.(S)

  4. Psalm 4:4 Or In your anger (see Septuagint)

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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