Psalm 4

1 <For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm by David. > Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. You set me free in my distress. Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.

2 You sons of man, how long will you shame my honor, love what is worthless, chase after a lie? Selah.

3 But know that the LORD works wonders for his godly one; the LORD will hear when I call to him.

4 Be angry, but do not sin. Ponder in your heart, but be at rest on your bed. Selah.

5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.

6 Many say, "Who will show us any good?" LORD, lift up the light of your face upon us.

7 You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and wine and oil abound.

8 In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me live in safety.
