Psalms 4
4
An Evening Prayer
For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm of David.
1Answer me when I pray to you,
my God who does what is right.
Make things easier for me when I am in trouble.
Have mercy on me and hear my prayer.
2People, how long will you turn my honor into shame?
How long will you love what is false and look for new lies?Selah
3You know that the Lord has chosen for himself those who are loyal to him.
The Lord listens when I pray to him.
4When you are angry, do not sin.
Think about these things quietly
as you go to bed.Selah
5Do what is right as a sacrifice to the Lord
and trust the Lord.
6Many people ask,
“Who will give us anything good?”
Lord, be kind to us.
7But you have made me very happy,
happier than they are,
even with all their grain and new wine.
8I go to bed and sleep in peace,
because, Lord, only you keep me safe.

Psalms 4
4
For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm by David.
1Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness.
Give me relief from my distress.
Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
2You sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor?
Will you love vanity and seek after falsehood? Selah.
3But know that Yahweh has set apart for himself him who is godly;
Yahweh will hear when I call to him.
4Stand in awe, and don’t sin.
Search your own heart on your bed, and be still. Selah.
5Offer the sacrifices of righteousness.
Put your trust in Yahweh.
6Many say, “Who will show us any good?”
Yahweh, let the light of your face shine on us.
7You have put gladness in my heart,
more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.
8In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep,
for you alone, Yahweh, make me live in safety.
