Context of Psalms 4:5

3But know that Jehovah hath set apart the pious [man] for himself: Jehovah will hear when I call unto him. 4Be moved with anger, and sin not; meditate in your own hearts upon your bed, and be still. Selah. Offer sacrifices of righteousness, and confide in Jehovah. 6Many say, Who shall cause us to see good? Lift up upon us the light of thy countenance, O Jehovah. 7Thou hast put joy in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their new wine was in abundance.
