Psalm 4, NEW INTERNATIONAL READER’S VERSION
Prior Chapter  |  Next Chapter

1

My faithful God,
answer me when I call out to you.
Give me rest from my trouble.
Show me your favour.  Hear my prayer.
 

2

How long will you people turn my glory into shame?
How long will you love what will certainly fail you?
How long will you pray to statues of gods?
Selah
 

3

Remember that the Lord has set his faithful people apart
for himself.
The Lord will hear me when I call out to him.
 

4

When you are angry, do not sin.
When you are in bed,
look deep down inside you and be silent.
Selah
 

5

Offer sacrifices to the Lord in the right way.
Trust in him.
 

6

Many are asking, “Who can show us anything good?”
Lord, let us see your face smiling on us with favour.
 

7

You have filled my heart with great joy.
It is greater than the joy of people who have lots of grain
and fresh wine.
 

8

I will lie down and sleep in peace.
Lord, you alone keep me safe.
