Psalm 4
NET Parallel NLT [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
NET BibleNew Living Translation
1For the music director, to be accompanied by stringed instruments; a psalm of David. When I call out, answer me, O God who vindicates me! Though I am hemmed in, you will lead me into a wide, open place. Have mercy on me and respond to my prayer! 1Answer me when I call to you, O God who declares me innocent. Free me from my troubles. Have mercy on me and hear my prayer.
2You men, how long will you try to turn my honor into shame? How long will you love what is worthless and search for what is deceptive? (Selah) 2How long will you people ruin my reputation? How long will you make groundless accusations? How long will you continue your lies? Interlude
3Realize that the LORD shows the godly special favor; the LORD responds when I cry out to him. 3You can be sure of this: The LORD set apart the godly for himself. The LORD will answer when I call to him.
4Tremble with fear and do not sin! Meditate as you lie in bed, and repent of your ways! (Selah) 4Don’t sin by letting anger control you. Think about it overnight and remain silent. Interlude
5Offer the prescribed sacrifices and trust in the LORD! 5Offer sacrifices in the right spirit, and trust the LORD.
6Many say, "Who can show us anything good?" Smile upon us, LORD! 6Many people say, “Who will show us better times?” Let your face smile on us, LORD.
7You make me happier than those who have abundant grain and wine. 7You have given me greater joy than those who have abundant harvests of grain and new wine.
8I will lie down and sleep peacefully, for you, LORD, make me safe and secure. 8In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, O LORD, will keep me safe.
