Psalms-Chapter 4

1 To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.

1 Εἰς τὸ τέλος, ἐν ψαλμοῖς· ᾠδὴ τῷ Δαυΐδ.

2 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved me in my distress; Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.

2 ΕΝ τῷ ἐπικαλεῖσθαί με εἰσήκουσάς μου, ὁ Θεὸς τῆς δικαιοσύνης μου· ἐν θλίψει ἐπλάτυνάς με. οἰκτείρησόν με καὶ εἰσάκουσον τῆς προσευχῆς μου.

3 How long, O you sons of men, Will you turn my glory to shame? How long will you love worthlessness And seek falsehood? Selah

3 υἱοὶ ἀνθρώπων, ἕως πότε βαρυκάρδιοι; ἱνατί ἀγαπᾶτε ματαιότητα καὶ ζητεῖτε ψεῦδος; (διάψαλμα).

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

4 καὶ γνῶτε ὅτι ἐθαυμάστωσε Κύριος τὸν ὅσιον αὐτοῦ· Κύριος εἰσακούσεταί μου ἐν τῷ κεκραγέναι με πρὸς αὐτόν.

5 Be angry, and do not sin. Meditate within your heart on your bed, and be still. Selah

5 ὀργίζεσθε, καὶ μὴ ἁμαρτάνετε· ἃ λέγετε ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν, ἐπὶ ταῖς κοίταις ὑμῶν κατανύγητε. (διάψαλμα).

6 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, And put your trust in the LORD.

6 θύσατε θυσίαν δικαιοσύνης καὶ ἐλπίσατε ἐπὶ Κύριον.

7 There are many who say, “Who will show us any good?” LORD, lift up the light of Your countenance upon us.

7 πολλοὶ λέγουσι· τίς δείξει ἡμῖν τὰ ἀγαθά; Ἐσημειώθη ἐφ᾿ ἡμᾶς τὸ φῶς τοῦ προσώπου σου, Κύριε.

8 You have put gladness in my heart, More than in the season that their grain and wine increased.

8 ἔδωκας εὐφροσύνην εἰς τὴν καρδίαν μου· ἀπὸ καρποῦ σίτου, οἴνου καὶ ἐλαίου αὐτῶν ἐπληθύνθησαν.

9 I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; For You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.

9 ἐν εἰρήνῃ ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ κοιμηθήσομαι καὶ ὑπνώσω, ὅτι σύ, Κύριε, κατὰ μόνας ἐπ᾿ ἐλπίδι κατῴκισάς με.
