Psalm 4

Evening Prayer for Help

1 Answer me when I pray,

O God, my defender!

When I was in trouble, you helped me.

Be kind to me now and hear my prayer.

2 How long will you people insult me?

How long will you love what is worthless

and go after what is false?

3 Remember that the Lord has chosen the righteous for his own,

and he hears me when I call to him.

4 Tremble with fear and stop sinning;

think deeply about this,

when you lie in silence on your beds.

5 Offer the right sacrifices to the Lord,

and put your trust in him.

6 There are many who pray:

“Give us more blessings, O Lord.

Look on us with kindness!”

7 But the joy that you have given me

is more than they will ever have

with all their grain and wine.

8 When I lie down, I go to sleep in peace;

you alone, O Lord, keep me perfectly safe.
