Psalms 4
Of David
1 God, guardian of my rights, you answer when I call, when I am in trouble, you come to my relief; now be good to me and hear my prayer.
2 You men, why shut your hearts so long, loving delusions, chasing after lies. (Pause)
3 Know this, Yahweh works wonders for those he loves, Yahweh hears me when I call to him.
4 Tremble: give up sinning, spend your night in quiet meditation. (Pause)
5 Offer sacrifice in a right spirit, and trust Yahweh.
6 ‘Who will give us sight of happiness?’ many say. Show us the light of your face, turned towards us! Yahweh,
7 you have given more joy to my heart than others ever knew, for all their corn and wine.
8 In peace I lie down, and fall asleep at once, since you alone, Yahweh, make me rest secure.
