Psalms 4

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 In parts according to verses. A Psalm of David.	1 For the leader; with stringed instruments. A psalm of David.
2 When I called upon him, the God of my justice heeded me. In tribulation, you have enlarged me. Have mercy on me, and heed my prayer.	2 Answer when I call, my saving God. In my troubles, you cleared a way; show me favor; hear my prayer.
3 Sons of men, how long will you be dull in heart, so that whatever you love is in vain, and whatever you seek is false?	3 How long will you people mock my honor, love what is worthless, chase after lies? Selah
4 And know this: the Lord has made wondrous his holy one. The Lord will heed me when I cry out to him.	4 Know that the LORD works wonders for the faithful; the LORD hears when I call out.
5 Be angry, and do not be willing to sin. The things that you say in your hearts: be sorry for them on your beds.	5 Tremble and do not sin; upon your beds ponder in silence.
6 Offer the sacrifice of justice, and hope in the Lord. Many say, “Who reveals to us what is good?”	6 Offer fitting sacrifice and trust in the LORD.
7 The light of your countenance, Lord, has been sealed upon us. You have given joy to my heart.	7 Many say, "May we see better times! LORD, show us the light of your face!" Selah
8 By the fruit of their grain, wine, and oil, they have been multiplied.	8 But you have given my heart more joy than they have when grain and wine abound.
9 In peace itself, I will sleep and I will rest.	9 In peace I shall both lie down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me secure.
10 For you, O Lord, have established me singularly in hope.
