Psalms 4

 

¹ Answer me when I call to you, my righteous God. Give me relief from my distress; have mercy on me and hear my prayer.

 

² How long will you people turn my glory into shame? How long will you love delusions and seek false gods^?

 

³ Know that the LORD has set apart his faithful servant for himself; the LORD hears when I call to him.

 

⁴ Tremble and do not sin; when you are on your beds, search your hearts and be silent.

 

⁵ Offer the sacrifices of the righteous and trust in the LORD.

 

⁶ Many, LORD, are asking, “Who will bring us prosperity?” Let the light of your face shine on us.

 

⁷ Fill my heart with joy when their grain and new wine abound.

 

⁸ In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me dwell in safety.
