Evening Prayer of Trust in God.
For the choir director; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.
1Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness!
You have relieved me in my distress;
Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.
2O sons of men, how long will my honor become a reproach?
How long will you love what is worthless and aim at deception?
Selah.
3But know that the L
ORD has set apart the godly man for Himself;
The L
ORD hears when I call to Him.
4Tremble, and do not sin;
Meditate in your heart upon your bed, and be still.
Selah.
5Offer the sacrifices of righteousness,
And trust in the L
ORD.
6Many are saying, Who will show us
any good?
Lift up the light of Your countenance upon us, O L
ORD!
7You have put gladness in my heart,
More than when their grain and new wine abound.
8In peace I will both lie down and sleep,
For You alone, O L
ORD, make me to dwell in safety.
<< Psalm 4 >>
