1 For the music director, to be accompanied by stringed instruments; a psalm of David. When I call out, answer me, O God who vindicates me! Though I am hemmed in, you will lead me into a wide, open place. Have mercy on me and respond to my prayer! 2 You men, how long will you try to turn my honor into shame? How long will you love what is worthless and search for what is deceptive? (Selah) 3 Realize that the LORD shows the godly special favor; the LORD responds when I cry out to him. 4 Tremble with fear and do not sin! Meditate as you lie in bed, and repent of your ways! (Selah) 5 Offer the prescribed sacrifices and trust in the LORD! 6 Many say, |Who can show us anything good?| Smile upon us, LORD! 7 You make me happier than those who have abundant grain and wine. Psalms 4:1-7, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
