Tremble and[a] do not sin;(A)
    when you are on your beds,(B)
    search your hearts and be silent.
Offer the sacrifices of the righteous
    and trust in the Lord.(C)

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

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

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

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.
