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.
Salmos 4
Dios Habla Hoy
Plena confianza en el Señor
(1) Del maestro de coro, con instrumentos de cuerda. Salmo de David.
4 (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!
2 (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?
3 (4) Sepan que el Señor prefiere al hombre que le es fiel;
sepan que el Señor me escucha cuando lo llamo.
4 (5) ¡Tiemblen y no pequen más!
Ya acostados, y en silencio,
examinen su propia conciencia;
5 (6) ofrezcan sacrificios sinceros
y confíen en el Señor.
6 (7) Muchos dicen: «¿Quién nos mostrará la dicha?»
¡Señor, míranos con buenos ojos!
7 (8) Tú has puesto en mi corazón más alegría
que en quienes tienen trigo y vino en abundancia.
8 (9) Yo me acuesto tranquilo y me duermo en seguida,
pues tú, Señor, me haces vivir confiado.
