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.
2 You sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor?
Will you love vanity and seek after falsehood? Selah.
3 But know that the LORD has set apart for himself him who is godly;
The LORD 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 the LORD.
6Many say, “Who will show us any good?”
LORD, let the light of your face shine on us.
7 You have put gladness in my heart,
more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.
8 In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep,
for you alone, LORD, make me live in safety.

The Safety of the Faithful
To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.
1Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness!
You have relieved me in my distress;
Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
2How long, O you sons of men,
Will you turn my glory to shame?
How long will you love worthlessness
And seek falsehood?
Selah
