Psalm 4
Trust in God
1 For the leader; with stringed instruments. A psalm of David.
I
2 Answer me when I call, my saving God.
When troubles hem me in, set me free;
take pity on me, hear my prayer.
II
3 How long, O people, will you be hard of heart?
Why do you love what is worthless, chase after lies?
Selah
4 Know that the Lord works wonders for his faithful one;
the Lord hears when I call out to him.
5 Tremble and sin no more;
weep bitterly within your hearts,
wail upon your beds,
6 Offer fitting sacrifices
and trust in the Lord.
III
7 Many say, “May we see better times!
Lord, show us the light of your face!”
Selah
8 But you have given my heart more joy
than they have when grain and wine abound.
9 In peace I will lie down and fall asleep,
for you alone, Lord, make me secure.
