For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved my distress; show me grace and hear my prayer. (MT 4:2; LXX 4:2; Rahlfs 4:2)
לַמְנַצֵּ֥חַ בִּנְגִינ֗וֹת מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד׃
2How long, O men, will my honor be maligned? How long will you love vanity and seek after lies? Selah (MT 4:3; LXX 4:3; Rahlfs 4:3)
בְּקָרְאִ֡י עֲנֵ֤נִי ׀ אֱלֹ֘הֵ֤י צִדְקִ֗י בַּ֭צָּר הִרְחַ֣בְתָּ לִּ֑י חָ֝נֵּ֗נִי וּשְׁמַ֥ע תְּפִלָּתִֽי׃
3Know that the Lord has set apart the godly for Himself; the Lord hears when I call to Him. (MT 4:4; LXX 4:4; Rahlfs 4:4)
בְּנֵ֥י אִ֡ישׁ עַד־מֶ֬ה כְבוֹדִ֣י לִ֭כְלִמָּה תֶּאֱהָב֣וּן רִ֑יק תְּבַקְשׁ֖וּ כָזָ֣ב סֶֽלָה׃
4Be angry, yet do not sin; on your bed, search your heart and be still. Selah (MT 4:5; LXX 4:5; Rahlfs 4:5)
וּדְע֗וּ כִּֽי־הִפְלָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה חָסִ֣יד ל֑וֹ יְהוָ֥ה יִ֝שְׁמַ֗ע בְּקָרְאִ֥י אֵלָֽיו׃
5Offer the sacrifices of the righteous and trust in the Lord. (MT 4:6; LXX 4:6; Rahlfs 4:6)
רִגְז֗וּ וְֽאַל־תֶּ֫חֱטָ֥אוּ אִמְר֣וּ בִ֭לְבַבְכֶם עַֽל־מִשְׁכַּבְכֶ֗ם וְדֹ֣מּוּ סֶֽלָה׃
6Many ask, “Who can show us the good?” Shine the light of Your face upon us, O Lord. (MT 4:7; LXX 4:7; Rahlfs 4:7)
זִבְח֥וּ זִבְחֵי־צֶ֑דֶק וּ֝בִטְח֗וּ אֶל־יְהוָֽה׃
7You have filled my heart with more joy than when grain and new wine abound. (MT 4:8; LXX 4:8; Rahlfs 4:8)
רַבִּ֥ים אֹמְרִים֮ מִֽי־יַרְאֵ֪נ֫וּ ט֥וֹב נְֽסָה־עָ֭לֵינוּ א֨וֹר פָּנֶ֬יךָ יְהוָֽה׃
8I will lie down and sleep in peace, for You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety. (MT 4:9; LXX 4:9; Rahlfs 4:9)
נָתַ֣תָּה שִׂמְחָ֣ה בְלִבִּ֑י מֵעֵ֬ת דְּגָנָ֖ם וְתִֽירוֹשָׁ֣ם רָֽבּוּ׃
