Psalm 4 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

Evening Prayer of Trust in God.

Psa 4:1[fn]For the choir director; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.
Answer me when I call, O God [fn]of my righteousness!
You have [fn]relieved me in my distress;
Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.
Psa 4:2O sons of men, how long will my [fn]honor become a reproach?
How long will you love what is worthless and aim at deception? [fn]Selah.
Psa 4:3But know that the LORD has [fn]set apart the godly man for Himself;
The LORD hears when I call to Him.
Psa 4:4[fn]Tremble, [fn]and do not sin;
[fn]Meditate in your heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.
Psa 4:5Offer [fn]the sacrifices of righteousness,
And trust in the LORD.
Psa 4:6Many are saying, “Who will show us any good?”
Lift up the light of Your countenance upon us, O LORD!
Psa 4:7You have put gladness in my heart,
More than when their grain and new wine abound.
Psa 4:8In peace I will [fn]both lie down and sleep,
For You alone, O LORD, make me to dwell in safety.
