Psalms 4
Psalm 4[a]
For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm of David.
1 Answer me(a) when I call to you,
my righteous God.
Give me relief from my distress;(b)
have mercy(c) on me and hear my prayer.(d)
2 How long will you people turn my glory(e) into shame?(f)
How long will you love delusions and seek false gods[b]?[c](g)
3 Know that the Lord has set apart his faithful servant(h) for himself;
the Lord hears(i) when I call to him.
4 Tremble and[d] do not sin;(j)
when you are on your beds,(k)
search your hearts and be silent.
5 Offer the sacrifices of the righteous
and trust in the Lord.(l)
6 Many, Lord, are asking, "Who will bring us prosperity?"
Let the light of your face shine on us.(m)
7 Fill my heart(n) with joy(o)
when their grain and new wine(p) abound.
8 In peace(q) I will lie down and sleep,(r)
for you alone, Lord,
make me dwell in safety.(s)
