Psalm 4
4
An Evening Prayer of Trust in God
To the chief Musician on Neg´inoth, A Psalm of David.
1Hear me when I call,
O God of my righteousness:
thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress;
have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
2O ye sons of men,
how long will ye turn my glory into shame?
How long will ye love vanity,
and seek after leasing? Selah.
3But know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself:
the Lord will hear when I call unto him.

Eph 4.26. Stand in awe, and sin not:
commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.
5Offer the sacrifices of righteousness,
and put your trust in the Lord.
6 There be many that say, Who will show us any good?
Lord, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
7Thou hast put gladness in my heart,
more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.
8I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep:
for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety.

Psalms 4
4
Evening Prayer for Help#Ps 4 Hebrew title: A psalm by David.
1Answer me when I pray,
O God, my defender!
When I was in trouble, you helped me.
Be kind to me now and hear my prayer.
2How long will you people insult me?
How long will you love what is worthless
and go after what is false?
3Remember that the LORD has chosen the righteous for his own,
and he hears me when I call to him.

Eph 4.26
Tremble with fear and stop sinning;
think deeply about this,
when you lie in silence on your beds.
5Offer the right sacrifices to the LORD,
and put your trust in him.
6There are many who pray:
“Give us more blessings, O LORD.
Look on us with kindness!”
7But the joy that you have given me
is more than they will ever have
with all their corn and wine.
8When I lie down, I go to sleep in peace;
you alone, O LORD, keep me perfectly safe.
