Psalms 4
Chapter 4 of 150 in Psalms. Read the complete chapter below, then use the Kweeble reflection prompts to study it in context.
1 Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. Give me relief from my distress. Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
2 You sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? Will you love vanity and seek after falsehood?
3 But know that Yahweh has set apart for himself him who is godly: Yahweh will hear when I call to him.
4 Stand in awe, and don’t sin. Search your own heart on your bed, and be still.
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness. Put your trust in Yahweh.
6 Many say, “Who will show us any good?” Yahweh, let the light of your face shine on us.
7 You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.
8 In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you, Yahweh alone, make me live in safety.
