O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.

Verse 2 is found in chapter 4 of Psalms. Psalm 4 develops an evening prayer in which the psalmist responds to those who pursue falsehood and seek to replace trust in God with vanity. The initial expression of distress gives way to an exhortation to fear the Lord, examine the heart, and offer righteous sacrifices. The conclusion is especially significant: the joy God grants surpasses the security associated with material abundance and enables the psalmist to sleep in peace.

Erhöre mich, wenn ich rufe, Gott meiner Gerechtigkeit, der du mich tröstest in Angst; sei mir gnädig und erhöre mein Gebet!
Hijos de los hombres, ¿hasta cuándo volveréis mi honra en infamia, Amaréis la vanidad, y buscaréis la mentira? (Selah.)
Fils des hommes, jusques à quand ma gloire sera-t-elle outragée? Jusques à quand aimerez-vous la vanité, Chercherez-vous le mensonge? -Pause.
O uomini principali, infino a quando sarà la mia gloria in vituperio? Infino a quando amerete vanità, E andrete dietro a menzogna? Sela.
Filhos dos homens, até quando convertereis a minha glória em infâmia? Até quando amareis a vaidade e buscareis a mentira? (Selá.)
你們這些人哪,你們把我的尊榮變為羞辱,要到幾時呢? 你們喜愛虛妄,尋找虛假,要到幾時呢? (細拉)
