God, who vindicates me.#4:1 Or God of my righteousness#Ps 7:8; 26:1; 35:24

be gracious to me and hear my prayer.
2How long, exalted ones,#4:2 Lit long, sons of a man will my honor be insulted?#Ps 69:7–10,19–20

the faithful for himself;
the Lord will hear when I call to him.

Let the light of your face shine on us, Lord.#Nm 6:25; Ps 80:3
7You have put more joy in my heart
than they have when their grain and new wine abound.#Is 9:3

for you alone, Lord, make me live in safety.#Lv 25:18; Dt 12:10; Jr 32:37; Ezk 34:25

Psalm 4
4
Psalm 4
For the director of music. A psalm of David to be played on stringed instruments.
1My faithful God,
answer me when I call out to you.
Give me rest from my trouble.
Have mercy on me. Hear my prayer.
2How long will you people turn my glory into shame?
How long will you love what will certainly fail you?
How long will you pray to statues of gods?
3Remember that the Lord has set apart his faithful servant for himself.
The Lord hears me when I call out to him.
4Tremble and do not sin.
When you are in bed,
look deep down inside yourself and be silent.
5Offer to the Lord the sacrifices that godly people offer.
Trust in him.
6 Lord, many are asking, “Who will make us successful?”
Lord, may you do good things for us.
7Fill my heart with joy
when the people have lots of grain and fresh wine.
8In peace I will lie down and sleep.
Lord, you alone keep me safe.
