Psalm 4

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

1 For the End, a Song of David amongst [the ]Psalms. When I called upon [him], the God of my righteousness heard me: you have made room for me in tribulation; pity me, and listen to 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.

2 In the English, this verse is part of verse 1.

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

3 O you⌃ sons of men, how long [will you⌃ be] slow of heart? therefore do you⌃ love vanity, and seek falsehood? Pause. (verse 2 in Brenton's English)

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

4 But know you⌃ that the Lord has done wondrous things for his holy one: the Lord will hear me when I cry to him. (verse 3 in Brenton's English)

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

5 Be you⌃ angry, and sin not; feel compunction upon your beds for what you⌃ say in your hearts. Pause. (verse 4 in Brenton's English)

6 θύσατε θυσίαν δικαιοσύνης καὶ ἐλπίσατε ἐπὶ Κύριον.

6 Offer the sacrifice of righteousness, and trust in the Lord. (verse 5 in Brenton's English)

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

7 Many say, Who will show us good things? the light of your countenance, O Lord, has been manifested towards us. (verse 6 in Brenton's English)

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

8 You have put gladness into my heart: they have been satisfied with the fruit of their corn and wine and oil. (verse 7 in Brenton's English)

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

9 I will both lie down in peace and sleep: for you, Lord, only have caused me to dwell securely. (verse 8 in Brenton's English)
