Psalm 4

English Standard Version Anglicised

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 honour 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.
⁶ There are many who say, “Who will show us some good?
    ^(M)Lift up ^(N)the light of your face upon us, O Lord!”
⁷ You have put ^(O)more joy in my heart
    than they have when their grain and wine abound.
⁸ In peace I will both ^(P)lie down and sleep;
    for you alone, O Lord, make me ^(Q)dwell in safety.
