Chapter 4
1 You are my God and protector. Please answer my prayer. I was in terrible distress, but you set me free. Now have pity and listen as I pray.
2 How long will you people refuse to respect me? You love foolish things, and you run after what is worthless.
3 The Lord has chosen everyone who is faithful to be his very own, and he answers my prayers.
4 But each of you had better tremble and turn from your sins. Silently search your heart as you lie in bed.
5 Offer the proper sacrifices and trust the Lord .
6 There are some who ask, "Who will be good to us?" Let your kindness, Lord , shine brightly on us.
7 You brought me more happiness than a rich harvest of grain and grapes.
8 I can lie down and sleep soundly because you, Lord , will keep me safe.
