Psalm 4
NLT Parallel ESV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
New Living TranslationEnglish Standard Version
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.1Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have given me relief when I was in distress. Be gracious to me and hear my prayer!
2How long will you people ruin my reputation? How long will you make groundless accusations? How long will you continue your lies? Interlude2O men, how long shall my honor be turned into shame? How long will you love vain words and seek after lies? Selah
3You can be sure of this: The LORD set apart the godly for himself. The LORD will answer when I call to him.3But know that the LORD has set apart the godly for himself; the LORD hears when I call to him.
4Don’t sin by letting anger control you. Think about it overnight and remain silent. Interlude4Be angry, and do not sin; ponder in your own hearts on your beds, and be silent. Selah
5Offer sacrifices in the right spirit, and trust the LORD.5Offer right sacrifices, and put your trust in the LORD.
6Many people say, “Who will show us better times?” Let your face smile on us, LORD.6There are many who say, “Who will show us some good? Lift up the light of your face upon us, O LORD!”
7You have given me greater joy than those who have abundant harvests of grain and new wine.7You have put more joy in my heart than they have when their grain and wine abound.
8In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, O LORD, will keep me safe.8In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
