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].
