- Chapter 4 -

Answer me when I call!

1
For the chief musician; on stringed instruments. A psalm of David. Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness; give me room when I am hemmed in. Have mercy on me and listen to my prayer.
2
You people, how long will you turn my honor into shame? How long will you love that which is worthless and seek after lies? Selah.
3
But know that Yahweh sets apart the godly for himself. Yahweh will hear when I call to him.
4
Tremble in fear, but do not sin! Meditate in your heart on your bed and be silent. Selah.
5
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness and put your trust in Yahweh.
6
Many say, “Who will show us anything good?” Yahweh, lift up the light of your face on us.
7
You have given my heart more gladness than others have when their grain and new wine abound.
8
It is in peace that I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Yahweh, make me safe and secure.

Answer me when I call!

1
Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. Give me relief from my distress. Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
2
You sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? Will you love vanity and seek after falsehood? Selah.
3
But know that the LORD has set apart for himself him who is godly; The LORD will hear when I call to him.
4
Stand in awe, and don’t sin. Search your own heart on your bed, and be still. Selah.
5
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness. Put your trust in the LORD.
6
Many say, “Who will show us any good?” LORD, let the light of your face shine on us.
7
You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.
8
In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me live in safety.
