Psalms 4

Answer Me When I Call!

For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.
Answer me when I call,
O God of my righteousness!
You have relieved my distress;
show me grace and hear my prayer.
2  How long, O men, will my honor be maligned?
How long will you love vanity and seek after lies*?
Selah
3  Know that the LORD has set apart the godly for Himself;
the LORD hears when I call to Him.
4  Be angry, yet do not sin;*
on your bed, search your heart and be still.
Selah
5  Offer the sacrifices of the righteous
and trust in the LORD.
6  Many ask, “Who can show us the good?”
Shine the light of Your face upon us, O LORD.
7  You have filled my heart with more joy
than when grain and new wine abound.
8  I will lie down and sleep in peace,
for You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
