Chapter 4
Psalms
Verse 1Answer 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!Verse 2O men, how long shall my honor be turned into shame?How long will you love vain words and seek after lies? SelahVerse 3But know that the LORD has set apart the godly for himself;the LORD hears when I call to him.Verse 4Be angry, and do not sin;ponder in your own hearts on your beds, and be silent. SelahVerse 5Offer right sacrifices,and put your trust in the LORD.Verse 6There are many who say, “Who will show us some good?Lift up the light of your face upon us, O LORD!”Verse 7You have put more joy in my heartthan they have when their grain and wine abound.Verse 8In peace I will both lie down and sleep;for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
