Answer Me When I Call
To the #Ps. 61, title; Hab. 3:19choirmaster: with #Ps. 61, title; Hab. 3:19stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.
1Answer me when I call, O God of my #Isa. 54:17; Jer. 23:6 righteousness!
You have #See Job 36:16given me relief when I was in distress.
Be gracious to me and hear my prayer!
2O men,#4:2 Or O men of rank how long shall my honor be turned into shame?
How long will you love vain words and seek after #[Ps. 5:6]lies? Selah
3But know that the Lord has #[Ex. 11:7] set apart #[Ps. 50:5]the godly for himself;
the Lord hears when I call to him.
4 # Cited Eph. 4:26 Be angry,#4:4 Or Be agitated and do not sin;
#
Ps. 77:6 ponder in your own hearts #See Ps. 42:8on your beds, and be silent. Selah
5Offer #Ps. 51:19; Deut. 33:19 right sacrifices,
and put your #Ps. 37:3; 62:8trust in the Lord.
6There are many who say, “Who will show us some good?
#
Num. 6:26 Lift up #Ps. 89:15; [Ps. 31:16; 67:1; 80:3, 7, 19; 119:135]the light of your face upon us, O Lord!”
7You have put #[Isa. 9:3; 16:10; Jer. 48:38]more joy in my heart
than they have when their grain and wine abound.
8In peace I will both #See Ps. 3:5 lie down and sleep;
for you alone, O Lord, make me #Ps. 16:9; Lev. 25:18, 19; 26:5; Deut. 33:28dwell in safety.

PSALM 4.
1Unto the end, in verses, a psalm of David.
2When I called upon him, the God of my justice heard me: when I was in distress, thou hast enlarged me. Have mercy on me: and hear my prayer.
3O ye sons of men, how long will you be dull of heart? Why do you love vanity, and seek after lying?
4Know ye also that the Lord hath made his holy one wonderful: the Lord will hear me when I shall cry unto him.
5Be angry, and sin not: the things you say in your hearts, be sorry for them upon your beds.
6Offer up the sacrifice of justice, and trust in the Lord: many say, Who sheweth us good things?
7The light of thy countenance O Lord, is signed upon us: thou hast given gladness in my heart.
8By the fruit of their corn, their wine and oil, they are multiplied.
9In peace in the selfsame I will sleep, and I will rest:
10For thou, O Lord, singularly hast settled me in hope.
