4:2  O sons of men, how long will my glory be put to shame? How long will you love delusions and seek after lies? Selah.

4:4  Tremble, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

4:5  Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.

4:6  There are many who say, "Who will show us any good?" LORD, lift up the light of Your countenance upon us.

4:7  You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and their wine increased.

4:8  I will both lie down in peace and sleep, for You alone, LORD, make me dwell in safety.
