Zabur 4
For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm by Dawud.
1Answer me when I call, God of my
righteousness.
Give me relief from my distress.
Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
2You sons of men, how long shall my glory
be turned into dishonour?
Will you love vanity, and seek after falsehood?
Selah.
3But know that Allah has set apart for
himself him who is godly:
Allah will hear when I call to him.
4In your anger do
not sin.[1]
Search your own heart on your bed, and be still.
Selah.
5Offer the sacrifices of righteousness.
Put your trust in Allah.
6Many say, "Who will show us any good?"
Allah, let the light of your face shine on us.
7You have put gladness in my heart,
More than when their grain and their new wine are
increased.
8In peace I will both lay myself down and
sleep,
For you, Allah alone, make me live in safety.
