Hi, this four character inscription is on an ancestral altar which contains two spirit tablets. I am unsure of the more modern equivalents of these characters and would be grateful for any assistance.

as @drooze revealed, it's "孝思維則"



reading from right to left:



孝: http://humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/Lexis/lexi-mf/search.php?word=孝



思: http://humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/Lexis/lexi-mf/search.php?word=思



維: http://humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/Lexis/lexi-mf/search.php?word=維



則: http://humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/Lexis/lexi-mf/search.php?word=則



the verse is original from 詩經　大雅　文王之什　下武:




成王之孚



下土之式



永言孝思



孝思維則




the ctext.org has a translation:




He secured the confidence due to a king,



And became a pattern of all below him.



Ever thinking how to be filial,



His filial mind was the model [which he supplied].
