Psalm 4 - Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read Version

To the director: With stringed instruments. A song of David.

¹ God, you showed that I was innocent. You gave me relief from all my troubles. So listen to me now when I call to you for help. Be kind to me and hear my prayer.

² Men, how long will you try to dishonor me? Do you enjoy wasting your time searching for new lies against me? Selah

³ You can be sure that anyone who serves the Lord faithfully is special to him. The Lord listens when I pray to him.

⁴ Tremble with fear, and stop sinning. Think about this when you go to bed, and calm down. Selah

⁵ Give the right sacrifices to the Lord, and put your trust in him!

⁶ Many people say, “I wish I could enjoy the good life. Lord, give us some of those blessings.”

⁷ But you have made me happier than they will ever be with all their wine and grain.

⁸ When I go to bed, I sleep in peace, because, Lord, you keep me safe.
