PSALM 4

Answer me when I call to you,

O my righteous God.

Give me relief from my distress;

be merciful to me and hear my prayer.

How long, O men, will you turn my glory into shame?

How long will you love delusions and seek false gods?

Selah

Know that the LORD

has set apart the godly for himself;

the LORD hears when I call to him.

In your anger do not sin;

when you are on your beds,

search your hearts and be silent.

Selah

Offer right sacrifices

and trust in the LORD.

Many are asking, “Who can show us any good?”

Let the light of your face shine upon us, O LORD.

You have filled my heart with greater joy

than when their grain and new wine abound.

I will lie down and sleep in peace,

for you alone, O LORD,

make me dwell in safety.
