Psalms 4
1 For the music director, with stringed instruments. A psalm of David.
2 Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! In my distress you made room for me; have mercy on me and hear my prayer.
3 Children of men, how long will my honor be turned to shame? How long will you love what is empty and pursue lies? Selah.
4 Know that the LORD has set apart the faithful for himself; the LORD hears when I call to him.
5 Be angry, but do not sin; consider it in your hearts, on your beds, and be silent. Selah.
6 Offer righteous sacrifices and trust in the LORD.
7 Many say, “Who will show us any good?” Lift up the light of your face upon us, LORD!
8 You have put more joy in my heart than they have when their grain and new wine abound.
9 In peace I lie down and soon fall asleep, for you alone, LORD, make me dwell in safety.
