Psalm 4
Answer
Me When I Call
To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of
David.
4 Answer me
when I call, O God of my righteousness!
You
have given me relief when I was in distress.
Be
gracious to me and hear my prayer!
2 O men,[a] how long shall my honor be turned into
shame?
How
long will you love vain words and seek after lies? Selah
3 But know that the Lord has set apart the godly for himself;
the
Lord hears when I call to him.
4 Be angry,[b] and do not sin;
ponder
in your own hearts on your beds, and be silent. Selah
5 Offer right sacrifices,
and
put your trust in the Lord.
6 There
are many who say, “Who will show us some good?
Lift
up the light of your face upon us, O Lord!”
7 You have put more joy
in my heart
than
they have when their grain and wine abound.
8 In peace
I will both lie down and sleep;
for
you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.
