Psalms

Chapter 4

1 Answer me when I call, God, who vindicates me. , You freed me from affliction; be gracious to me and hear my prayer.

2 How long, exalted ones, will my honor be insulted? How long will you love what is worthless and pursue a lie? Selah

3 Know that the Lord has set apart the faithful for himself; the Lord will hear when I call to him.

4 Be angry and do not sin; reflect in your heart while on your bed and be silent. Selah

5 Offer sacrifices in righteousness , and trust in the Lord .

6 Many are asking, "Who can show us anything good? " Let the light of your face shine on us, Lord .

7 You have put more joy in my heart than they have when their grain and new wine abound.

8 I will both lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, Lord , make me live in safety.
