Psalm 4
A Night Prayer
For the choir director: with stringed instruments.(A) A psalm of David.
1 Answer me when I call,
God, who vindicates me.[a](B)
You freed me from affliction;(C)
be gracious to me and hear my prayer.
2 How long, exalted ones,[b] will my honor be insulted?(D)
How long will you love what is worthless(E)
and pursue a lie? Selah
3 Know that the Lord has set apart
the faithful for himself;
the Lord will hear when I call to him.
4 Be angry[c] and do not sin;(F)
reflect in your heart while on your bed and be silent.(G) Selah
5 Offer sacrifices in righteousness[d](H)
and trust in the Lord.(I)
6 Many are asking, “Who can show us anything good?”
Let the light of your face shine on us, Lord.(J)
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.

Oración vespertina de confianza en Dios
Al músico principal. Sobre Neginot. Salmo de David.
4 Dios de mi justicia, ¡responde a mi clamor!
Cuando estoy angustiado, tú me infundes aliento;
¡compadécete de mí y escucha mi oración!
2 Ustedes, hombres mortales,
¿hasta cuándo ofenderán al que es mi gloria,
y amarán y buscarán la falsedad y la mentira?
3 Entérense de una vez:
el Señor escoge a los hombres justos,
así que me escuchará cuando yo lo invoque.
4 Pónganse a temblar, y no pequen;(A)
más bien, mediten en sus camas y guarden silencio.
5 Ofrezcan al Señor sacrificios de justicia
y pongan su confianza en él.
6 Son muchos los que preguntan
«¿Quién nos hará ver el bien?»
¡Que la luz de tu rostro, Señor, nos ilumine!
7 Tú pusiste en mi corazón más alegría
que la de tener trigo y vino en abundancia.
8 Por eso me acuesto y duermo en paz,
porque sólo tú, Señor, me haces vivir confiado.
