A night-time prayer

Psa 4:1–8

4:1 A night-time prayer

4 For the musical director: a song by David to be accompanied by stringed instruments.

1 God of my righteousness, answer me when I call out.

You who granted me relief from distress.

Be gracious to me and listen to my prayer.

2 How long will you mortal people keep shaming me instead of honouring me?

Why do you all love meaninglessness and enjoy dishonesty? (Instrumental break.)

3 But be aware that Yahweh has treats people who are faithful to him as special to him.

Yahweh pays attention when I call out to him for help.

4 Respect Yahweh and don’t sin.[ref]

Meditate silently on your bed. (Instrumental break.)

5 Sacrifice to him by obeying him,

and keep trusting him.

6 Many people ask, “Who can show us anything that’s good?”

Yahweh, shower your favour down on us.

7 You’ve made me very happy,

even more so than when there’s plenty of food and drink.

8 I can lie down and sleep in peace,

because you, Yahweh, and only you, let me life in safety.
