Psalms 4

Evening prayer of trust in God.

For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.

¹To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.

²Answer me when I call, O God of my right! Thou hast given me room when I was in distress. Be gracious to me, and hear my prayer.

³O men, how long shall my honor suffer shame? How long will you love vain words, and seek after lies? [Selah]

⁴But know that the LORD has set apart the godly for himself; the LORD hears when I call to him.

⁵Be angry, but sin not; commune with your own hearts on your beds, and be silent. [Selah]

⁶Offer right sacrifices, and put your trust in the LORD.

⁷There are many who say, "O that we might see some good! Lift up the light of thy countenance upon us, O LORD!"

⁸Thou hast put more joy in my heart than they have when their grain and wine abound. [ (Psalms 4:9) In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for thou alone, O LORD, makest me dwell in safety. ]
