←Prev   Psalms 4 as rendered by/in  Next→ 



4:1  O God, you have declared me perfect in your eyes; you have always cared for me in my distress; now hear me as I call again. Have mercy on me. Hear my prayer.
4:2  The Lord God asks, “Sons of men, will you forever turn my glory into shame by worshiping these silly idols, when every claim that’s made for them is false?”
4:3  Mark this well: The Lord has set apart the redeemed for himself. Therefore he will listen to me and answer when I call to him.
4:4  Stand before the Lord in awe, and do not sin against him. Lie quietly upon your bed in silent meditation.
4:5  Put your trust in the Lord, and offer him pleasing sacrifices.
4:6  Many say that God will never help us. Prove them wrong, O Lord, by letting the light of your face shine down upon us.
4:7  Yes, the gladness you have given me is far greater than their joys at harvest time as they gaze at their bountiful crops.
4:8  I will lie down in peace and sleep, for though I am alone, O Lord, you will keep me safe.
