4:1 This is a song that David wrote. Tell the music leader to use stringed instruments. God, please answer me when I call aloud for help. You are the one who shows that I am right. Help me in my trouble. Show me that you are kind. Listen to me when I pray.
4:2 Tell me this, you people: How long will you refuse to respect me? How long will you love stupid ideas? How long will you agree with lies? Selah.
4:3 The Lord is very kind to those who serve him. He has chosen them to belong to himself. So he listens when I pray to him.
4:4 Shake with fear and stop doing wrong things! Lie on your bed and think quietly about your life. Selah.
4:5 Offer the right sacrifices to the Lord. Continue to trust in him.
4:6 Many people say, ‘Will anyone do a good thing for us?’ Lord, let your face smile on us.
4:7 You have made me very happy. I am happier than anyone who has lots of food and wine.
4:8 I will lie down and I will sleep in peace. You, Lord, are the one who takes care of me, and you keep me safe.
