Psalm 4

Please hear me when I call to You, my God. Give me help from my trouble; have mercy on me and hear my prayer.

How long will people turn my glory into shame?
[They look for something to embarass me.]

How long will you people love lies and look for something else to
take the place of God?

[I have something that you do not have.]

The Lord has set apart His faithful servant for Himself; the Lord hears
when I call to Him.

[But the things you call god
do not hear you.]

Be afraid and do not sin; when you are on your beds, search your hearts
and be quiet.

Give God what you owe to Him and stop trusting something else
instead of the Lord.

Lord, many are asking,
“Who will show us a better way to live?”

Let the light of
Your face shine on us.

[So that we can show them!]

Fill my heart with joy that is more than what my enemies have.

[I will not let the things
they do worry me.]

In peace I will lie down and sleep, for
You only, Lord, keep me safe!
