Psalm 4 - New International Version (Anglicised)

Psalm 4

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm of David.

¹ Answer me when I call to you, my righteous God. Give me relief from my distress; have mercy on me and hear my prayer.

² How long will you people turn my glory into shame? How long will you love delusions and seek false gods?

³ Know that the Lord has set apart his faithful servant for himself; the Lord hears when I call to him.

⁴ Tremble and do not sin; when you are on your beds, search your hearts and be silent.

⁵ Offer the sacrifices of the righteous and trust in the Lord.

⁶ Many, Lord, are asking, ‘Who will bring us prosperity?’ Let the light of your face shine on us.

⁷ Fill my heart with joy when their grain and new wine abound.

⁸ In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.
