Psalm 4
English Standard Version
Answer Me When I Call
To the (A)choirmaster: with (B)stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.
4 Answer me when I call, O God of my (C)righteousness!
You have (D)given me relief when I was in distress.
Be gracious to me and hear my prayer!
2 O men,[a] how long shall my honor be turned into shame?
How long will you love vain words and seek after (E)lies? Selah
3 But know that the Lord has (F)set apart (G)the godly for himself;
the Lord hears when I call to him.
4 (H)Be angry,[b] and do not sin;
(I)ponder in your own hearts (J)on your beds, and be silent. Selah
5 Offer (K)right sacrifices,
and put your (L)trust in the Lord.
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
5 Offer (D)the sacrifices of righteousness,
And (E)put your trust in the Lord.
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.

Panalangin sa Gabi
Katha ni David upang awitin ng Punong Mang-aawit; sa saliw ng instrumentong may kuwerdas.
4 Sagutin mo po ang aking pagtawag,
O Diyos, na aking kalasag!
Sa kagipitan ko, ako'y iyong tinulungan,
kaawaan mo ako ngayon, dalangin ko'y pakinggan.
2 Kayong mga tao, hanggang kailan ninyo ako hahamakin?
Ang walang kabuluhan at kasinungalingan,
hanggang kailan ninyo iibigin? (Selah)[a]
3 Dapat ninyong malamang itinalaga ni Yahweh ang matuwid,
kapag tumatawag ako sa kanya, siya'y nakikinig.
4 Huwag(A) hayaang magkasala ka nang dahil sa galit;
sa iyong silid, pag-isipa't ika'y manahimik. (Selah)[b]
5 Nararapat na handog, inyong ialay,
pagtitiwala n'yo'y kay Yahweh ibigay.
6 Tanong ng marami, “Sinong tutulong sa atin?”
Ikaw, O Yahweh, ang totoong mahabagin!
7 Puso ko'y iyong pinuno ng lubos na kagalakan,
higit pa sa pagkain at alak na inumin.
8 Sa aking paghiga, nakakatulog nang mahimbing,
pagkat ikaw, Yahweh, ang nag-iingat sa akin.
