- Kapitel 4 -

Answer me when I call!

TO THE OVERSEER. WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. A PSALM OF DAVID. In my calling answer me, || O God of my righteousness. In adversity You gave enlargement to me; Favor me, and hear my prayer.

Sons of men! Until when [is] my glory for shame? You love a vain thing, you seek a lie. Selah.

And know that YHWH || Has separated a saintly one to Himself. YHWH hears in my calling to Him.

“Tremble, and do not sin”; Say [thus] in your heart on your bed, || And be silent. Selah.

Sacrifice sacrifices of righteousness, || And trust in YHWH.

Many are saying, “Who shows us good?” Lift on us the light of Your face, O YHWH,

You have given joy in my heart, || From the time their grain and their wine || Have been multiplied.

Together I lie down and sleep in peace, || For You, O YHWH, alone, || Cause me to dwell in confidence!

Answer me when I call!

Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. Give me relief from my distress. Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.

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

But know that the LORD has set apart for himself him who is godly; The LORD will hear when I call to him.

Stand in awe, and don’t sin. Search your own heart on your bed, and be still. Selah.

Offer the sacrifices of righteousness. Put your trust in the LORD.

Many say, “Who will show us any good?” LORD, let the light of your face shine on us.

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

In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me live in safety.
