Psalm 4 - Tree of Life Version

Prayer for Sleep in Shalom

¹ For the music director, on stringed instruments, a psalm of David.

² Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness! You set me free when I am in distress. Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.

³ O sons of men, how long will you turn my glory into my shame? How long will you love worthlessness and pursue falsehood? Selah

⁴ But know that Adonai has set apart the godly for His own. Adonai will hear when I call to Him.

⁵ Tremble, but do not sin! Search your heart while on your bed, and be silent. Selah

⁶ Offer righteous sacrifices and put your trust in Adonai.

⁷ Many are asking, “Who will show us some good?” May the light of Your face shine upon us, Adonai!

⁸ You have put joy in my heart— more joy than when their grain and new wine overflow.

⁹ I will lie down and sleep in shalom. For You alone, Adonai, make me live securely.
