Tehillim 4

Orthodox Jewish Bible

4 (For the one directing. With stringed instruments. Mizmor Dovid.) Hear me when I call, Elohei tzidki (O G-d of my righteousness); Thou hast relieved me when I was in distress; channeini, and hear my tefillah.

² O ye Bnei Ish, how long will ye turn my kavod into shame? How long will ye love delusion, and seek kazav (lie, falsehood)? Selah.

³ But know that Hashem hath set apart the chasid for Himself; Hashem will hear when I call unto Him.

⁴ Be angry, yet sin not; commune with your own levav upon your mishkav, and be still. Selah.

⁵ Offer the zivkhei-tzedek, and put your trust in Hashem.

⁶ There be many that say, Who will show us any tov? Hashem, lift Thou up the ohr of Thy countenance upon us.

⁷ Thou hast put simcha in my lev, more than in the time that their dagan and their tirosh increased.

⁸ In shalom I will both lay me down, and sleep, for Thou alone, Hashem, makest me dwell in safety.
