Psalm 4:1
Verse 1 of 8. The 4th of 150 chapters in Psalms, in Poetry and Wisdom.
1For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm by David. Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. Give me relief from my distress. Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
2You sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? Will you love vanity and seek after falsehood? Selah.
3But know that the LORD has set apart for himself him who is godly; The LORD will hear when I call to him.
4Stand in awe, and don’t sin. Search your own heart on your bed, and be still. Selah.
5Offer the sacrifices of righteousness. Put your trust in the LORD.
