Psalms Chapter 4 (ACV)
Tap a verse to highlight it

1 Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness. Thou have enlarged me in distress. Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

2 O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? Will ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? Selah.

3 But know that Jehovah has set apart for himself him who is holy. Jehovah will hear when I call to 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 Jehovah.

6 Many there are who say, Who will show us good? Jehovah, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

7 Thou have put gladness in my heart more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.

8 In peace I will both lie down and sleep, for thou, Jehovah, alone make me dwell in safety.
