A Night Prayer
For the choir director: with stringed instruments. A psalm of David.
4:1 Answer me when I call,
God, who vindicates me. [Or God of my righteousness]
You freed me from affliction;
be gracious to me and hear my prayer.

You freed me from affliction;

2 How long, exalted ones, [Lit long, sons of a man] will my honor be insulted?
How long will you love what is worthless
and pursue a lie? Selah
3 Know that the Lord has set apart
the faithful for himself;
the Lord will hear when I call to him.
4 Be angry [Or Tremble] and do not sin;
reflect in your heart while on your bed and be silent. Selah
5 Offer sacrifices in righteousness [Or Offer right sacrifices]
and trust in the Lord.
6 Many are asking, “Who can show us anything good?”
Let the light of your face shine on us, Lord.
7 You have put more joy in my heart
than they have when their grain and new wine abound.
8 I will both lie down and sleep in peace,
for you alone, Lord, make me live in safety.
