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.
Psalm 4
New King James Version
The Safety of the Faithful
To the [a]Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.
4 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness!
You have relieved me in my distress;
[b]Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
2 How long, O you sons of men,
Will you turn my glory to shame?
How long will you love worthlessness
And seek falsehood? Selah
3 But know that (A)the Lord has [c]set apart for Himself him who is godly;
The Lord will hear when I call to Him.
4 (B)Be[d] angry, and do not sin.
(C)Meditate within your heart on your bed, and be still. Selah

6 There are many who say,
“Who will show us any good?”
(F)Lord, lift up the light of Your countenance upon us.
7 You have put (G)gladness in my heart,
More than in the season that their grain and wine increased.
8 (H)I will both lie down in peace, and sleep;
(I)For You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.
Psalmi 4

Psalmul 4
Către mai-marele cântăreţilor.
De cântat pe instrumente cu coarde.
Un psalm al lui David
1 Răspunde-mi când strig, Dumnezeul neprihănirii mele,
scoate-mă la loc larg când sunt la strâmtorare!
Ai milă de mine, ascultă-mi rugăciunea!
2 Fiii oamenilor, până când va fi batjocorită slava mea?
Până când veţi iubi deşertăciunea,
şi veţi umbla după minciuni?
3 Să ştiţi că Domnul(A) Şi-a ales un om pe care-l iubeşte:
Domnul aude când strig către El.
4 Cutremuraţi-vă(B) şi nu păcătuiţi!
Spuneţi(C) lucrul acesta în inimile voastre când staţi în pat, apoi tăceţi.
5 Aduceţi jertfe(D) neprihănite
şi încredeţi-vă(E) în Domnul.
6 Mulţi zic: „Cine ne va arăta fericirea?”
Eu însă zic: „Fă să răsară(F) peste noi lumina Feţei Tale, Doamne!”
7 Tu-mi dai mai multă bucurie(G) în inima mea, decât au ei
când li se înmulţeşte rodul grâului şi al vinului.
8 Eu mă culc şi adorm în pace(H),
căci(I) numai Tu, Doamne, îmi dai linişte deplină în locuinţa mea.
