Psalm 4
Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness
: when I was hard-pressed you set me free;
be gracious to me now and hear my prayer.
Sons of men, how long will you turn my glory to my shame
: how long will you love what is worthless and seek after lies?
Know that the Lord has shown me his wonderful kindness
: when I call to the Lord he will hear me.
Tremble, and do no sin
: commune with your own heart upon your bed and be still.
Offer the sacrifices that are right
: and put your trust in the Lord.
There are many who say ‘Who will show us any good?
: the light of your countenance, O Lord, has gone from us.’
Yet you have given my heart more gladness
: that they have when their corn, wine and oil increase.
In peace I will lie down and sleep
: for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.
