Psalms 4
Easy-to-Read Version, 2006
- 1God, you showed that I was innocent. You gave me relief from all my troubles. So listen to me now when I call to you for help. Be kind to me and hear my prayer.
- 2Men,[1] how long will you try to dishonor me? Do you enjoy wasting your time searching for new lies against me? Selah
- 3You can be sure that anyone who serves the LORD faithfully is special to him. The LORD listens when I pray to him.
- 4Tremble with fear, and stop sinning.[2] Think about this when you go to bed, and calm down. Selah
- 5Give the right sacrifices to the LORD, and put your trust in him!
- 6Many people say, “I wish I could enjoy the good life. LORD, give us some of those blessings.”[3]
- 7But you have made me happier than they will ever be with all their wine and grain.
- 8When I go to bed, I sleep in peace, because, LORD, you keep me safe.
