¹ Psalm 4 For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm of David. ¹ Answer me when I call to you, O my righteous God. Give me relief from my distress; be merciful to me and hear my prayer. ² How long, O men, will you turn my glory into shame ? How long will you love delusions and seek false gods ? ³ Know that the LORD has set apart the godly for himself; the LORD will hear when I call to him. ⁴ In your anger do not sin; when you are on your beds, search your hearts and be silent. ⁵ Offer right sacrifices and trust in the LORD. ⁶ Many are asking, "Who can show us any good?" Let the light of your face shine upon us, O LORD. ⁷ You have filled my heart with greater joy than when their grain and new wine abound. ⁸ I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
