4:1  (A psalm by David for the music leader. Use stringed instruments.) You are my God and protector. Please answer my prayer. I was in terrible distress, but you set me free. Now have pity and listen as I pray.
4:2  How long will you people refuse to respect me? You love foolish things, and you run after what is worthless.
4:3  The Lord has chosen everyone who is faithful to be his very own, and he answers my prayers.
4:4  But each of you had better tremble and turn from your sins. Silently search your heart as you lie in bed.
4:5  Offer the proper sacrifices and trust the Lord.
4:6  There are some who ask, “Who will be good to us?” Let your kindness, Lord, shine brightly on us.
4:7  You brought me more happiness than a rich harvest of grain and grapes.
4:8  I can lie down and sleep soundly because you, Lord, will keep me safe.
