Psalms 4

   |   

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,[a] 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.[b]
    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."[c]
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.
