PSALM 4
Hear me when I call upon you,
O God of my vindication,
who supported me
in my anguish.
Have mercy on me
and hear my prayer.
People, how long
will you be foolish?
Why do you love vanity
and follow lies?
But know that the Lord
distinguishes his
devout ones.
The Lord will hear me
when I call upon him.
Tremble, and do not sin,
ponder it in your hearts,
in your beds,
and be silent.
Make offerings
of righteousness,
and trust
in the Lord.
There are many who say,
"Who will show us good things?"
Raise over us the light
of your face, O Lord!
You have given more joy
to my heart
than abundance
of grain and wine.
In peace I will lie down
and sleep,
for you, O Lord,
have made me safe.
