Psalms 4 / 150
- 1
(Answer Me When I Call)To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.
Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness!
You have given me relief when I was in distress.
Be gracious to me and hear my prayer!
- 2
O men, how long shall my honor be turned into shame?
How long will you love vain words and seek after lies? Selah
- 3
But know that the Lord has set apart the godly for himself;
the Lord hears when I call to him.
- 4
Be angry, and do not sin;
ponder in your own hearts on your beds, and be silent. Selah
- 5
Offer right sacrifices,
and put your trust in the Lord.
- 6
There are many who say, "Who will show us some good?
Lift up the light of your face upon us, O Lord!"
- 7
You have put more joy in my heart
than they have when their grain and wine abound.
- 8
In peace I will both lie down and sleep;
for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.
