PSALMS (1-24, 26)
[A hymn of David.]
PS4:1 O my just God, answer me when I cry. In a confined place You have made room for me. Hear my prayer and show me favor. PS4:2 You great men, how long will you turn my glory into dishonor? Will you continue to love worthless things? Will you continue to search for lies? [Selah]
PS4:3 All of you realize, then, that Yehowah has set apart the person of covenant-loyalty35
for Himself. Yehowah will listen when I cry to him.
PS4:4 Get
upset but never sin!36
[Ephesians 4:26] Think37
about it within your own heart while on your bed and then keep silent. [Selah]35 Covenant-loyalty: Or, loving-kindness, faithful, godly. 36 Get upset but never sin: Or, KJV: stand in awe, and sin
not; RHM: be deeply moved but do not sin; BER: be agitated; RSV: be angry; HAR: let this challenge you and stop sinning; SPR: be afraid lest ye should sin. Paul quotes this verse at Ephesians 4:26. [For details see notes in Nazarene Commentary 2000 on Ephesians.] 37 Think: Or, ponder, commune, reflect, quiet meditation.
PS4:5 Offer up the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in Yehowah. PS4:6 Crowds ask, “Who will show us prosperity?” O Yehowah, raise upon us the light of Your face. PS4:7 You have filled my heart with gladness – more than in the season of their grain harvest and during the plenty of their new wine. PS4:8 I will lay down in peace and fall asleep quickly. For You alone, Yehowah, will cause me to dwell in security.
