SEV Biblia, Chapter 4:5
Ofreced sacrificios de justicia, y confiad en el SEŅOR.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Psalms 4:5
Verse 5. Offer the sacrifices of righteousness ] Do not attempt to offer a sacrifice to God for prosperity in your present rebellious conduct. Such a sacrifice would be a sin. Turn to God from whom you have revolted; and offer to him a righteous sacrifice, such as the law prescribes, and such as he can receive. Let all hear and consider this saying. No sacrifice-no performance of religious duty, will avail any man, if his heart be not right with God. And let all know, that under the Gospel dispensation no sacrifice of any kind will be received but through the all-atoning sacrifice made by Christ. Because of sin, justice has stopped every man's mouth; so that none can have access to God, but through the Mediator. By him only can the mouth of a sinner be opened to plead with God. Hear this, ye who trust in yourselves, and hope for heaven without either faith or dependence on the vicarious sacrifice of Christ.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-5 - Hear me for thy mercy-sake, is our best plea. He who will not ask suc blessings as pardon, and justifying righteousness, and eternal life must perish for the want of them. Alas! that so many should make s fearful a choice. The psalmist warns against sin. Keep up holy reverence of the glory and majesty of God. You have a great deal to say to your hearts, they may be spoken with, let it not be unsaid. Examin them by serious self-reflection; let your thoughts fasten upon tha which is good, and keep close to it. Consider your ways, and before yo turn to sleep at night, examine your consciences with respect to what you have done in the day; particularly what you have done amiss, tha you may repent of it. when you awake in the night, meditate upon God and the things that belong to your peace. Upon a sick-bed particularly, we should consider our ways. Be still. when you have asked conscience a question, be serious, be silent, wait for an answer Open not the mouth to excuse sin. All confidence must be pan answer Open not the mouth to excuse sin. All confidence only: therefore, afte commanding the sacrifices of righteousness, the psalmist says, Put you trust in the Lord.
