PSALM 4

1For the lead player, with stringed instruments, a David psalm.

2When I call out, answer me, my righteous God.

In the straits, You set me free.

Have mercy upon me and hear my prayer.

3Sons of man, how long will My glory be shamed?

You love vain things and seek out lies.

selah

4But know that the LORD set apart His faithful.

The LORD will hear when I call to Him.

5Quake, and do not offend.

Speak in your hearts on your beds, and be still.

selah

6Offer righteous sacrifices

and trust in the LORD.

7Many say, “Who will show us good things?”

Lift up the light of Your face to us, LORD.

8You put joy in my heart,

from the time their grain and their drink did abound.

9In peace, all whole, let me lie down and sleep.

For You, LORD, alone, do set me down safely.
