New Living Translation NLT
1 <Unto the end, in verses. A psalm for David.> (4-2) When I called upon him, the God of my justice heard me: when I was in distress, thou hast enlarged me. Have mercy on me: and hear my prayer.
1
Answer 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.
2 (4-3) O ye sons of men, how long will you be dull of heart? why do you love vanity, and seek after lying?
2
How long will you people ruin my reputation? How long will you make groundless accusations? How long will you continue your lies? Interlude
3 (4-4) Know ye also that the Lord hath made his holy one wonderful: the Lord will hear me when I shall cry unto him.
3
You can be sure of this: The LORD set apart the godly for himself. The LORD will answer when I call to him.
4 (4-5) Be ye angry, and sin not: the things you say in your hearts, be sorry for them upon your beds.
4
Don’t sin by letting anger control you. Think about it overnight and remain silent. Interlude
5 (4-6) Offer up the sacrifice of justice, and trust in the Lord: many say, Who sheweth us good things?
5
Offer sacrifices in the right spirit, and trust the LORD .
6 (4-7) The light of thy countenance, O Lord, is signed upon us: thou hast given gladness in my heart.
6
Many people say, “Who will show us better times?” Let your face smile on us, LORD .
7 (4-8) By the fruit of their corn, their wine, and oil, they rest:
7
You have given me greater joy than those who have abundant harvests of grain and new wine.
8 (4-9) In peace in the self same I will sleep, and I will rest: (4-10) For thou, O Lord, singularly hast settled me in hope.
8
In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, O LORD, will keep me safe.
