4:1  To the director: With stringed instruments. A song of David. God, you showed that I was innocent. You gave me relief from all my troubles. So listen to me now when I call to you for help. Be kind to me and hear my prayer.
4:2  Men, how long will you try to dishonor me? Do you enjoy wasting your time searching for new lies against me? Selah
4:3  You can be sure that anyone who serves the Lord faithfully is special to him. The Lord listens when I pray to him.
4:4  Tremble with fear, and stop sinning. Think about this when you go to bed, and calm down. Selah
4:5  Give the right sacrifices to the Lord, and put your trust in him!
4:6  Many people say, “I wish I could enjoy the good life. Lord, give us some of those blessings.”
4:7  But you have made me happier than they will ever be with all their wine and grain.
4:8  When I go to bed, I sleep in peace, because, Lord, you keep me safe.
