Psalm 4 (NLT) - Country

Psalm 4
For the choir director: A psalm of David, to be accompanied by stringed instruments.

1
Answer me when I call to you,
O God who declares me innocent.
Free me from my troubles.
Have mercy on me and hear my prayer.

2
How long will you people ruin my reputation?
How long will you make groundless accusations?
How long will you continue your lies? Interlude
3
You can be sure of this:
The Lord set apart the godly for himself.
The Lord will answer when I call to him.

4
Don’t sin by letting anger control you.
Think about it overnight and remain silent. Interlude
5
Offer sacrifices in the right spirit,
and trust the Lord.

6
Many people say, “Who will show us better times?”
Let your face smile on us, Lord.
7
You have given me greater joy
than those who have abundant harvests of grain and new wine.
8
In peace I will lie down and sleep,
for you alone, O Lord, will keep me safe.
