Psalm4NWT(2013)

To the director; to be accompanied with stringed instruments. A melody of David.

4 When I call, answer me, O my righteous God.+

Make a way of escape* for me in my distress.

Show me favor and hear my prayer.

2 You sons of men, how long will you turn my honor into humiliation?

How long will you love what is worthless and search for what is false? (Selah)

3 Know that Jehovah will treat his loyal one in a special way;*

Jehovah will hear when I call to him.

4 Be agitated, but do not sin.+

Have your say in your heart, upon your bed, and keep silent. (Selah)

5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness,

And trust in Jehovah.+

6 There are many saying: “Who will show us anything good?”

Let the light of your face shine upon us, O Jehovah.+

7 You have filled my heart with greater rejoicing

Than those who have an abundant harvest of grain and new wine.

8 I will lie down and sleep in peace,+

For you alone, O Jehovah, make me dwell in security.+
