Answer Me When I Call

Psalm 4

¹ Answer me when I call, O God of my right!
You gave me room when I was in distress.
Be gracious to me, and hear my prayer.

² How long, you people, shall my honor suffer shame?
How long will you love vain words, and seek after lies?+pSelah
³ But know that the Lord has set apart the faithful for himself;
the Lord hears when I call to him.

⁴ When you are disturbed, ₁ do not sin;
ponder it on your beds, and be silent.+pSelah
⁵ Offer right sacrifices,
and put your trust in the Lord.

⁶ There are many who say, "O that we might see some good!
Let the light of your face shine on us, O Lord!"
⁷ You have put gladness in my heart
more than when their grain and wine abound.

⁸ I will both lie down and sleep in peace;
for you alone, O Lord, make me lie down in safety.
