Psalm 4: Standing for God

When we are in the valleys of life, this is often where we hear God speaking to us. He opens his arms and engulfs us in his embrace. In return, God wants our life, our soul, and our all. Will you call out to him for deliverance today? _______________________________________________

Psalm 4

Standing for God

A psalm of David. To the music director: accompanied by stringed instruments. 1 O God of my righteousness,a Answer me when I call; Relieve me of distress; Have mercy on me; and Hear my prayer. 2 O you children of men, How long will you Turn my glory into shame, Love what is worthless, and Chase after what is not true? Selah

3 Know that The L has set apart the godly for himself; The L hears when I call to him. 4 Tremble, and do not sin;

Communeb with your own heart upon your bed, and be still; Selah 5 Offer righteous sacrifices,c and trust in the L. 6 Many say, “Who will show us any good?”

But I say,

“L, Smile, Shine the light of your face upon us. 7 You have put gladness in my heart More than they have when their grain and wine abound. 8 I will both lie down in peace and sleep, For only you, O L, make me dwell in safety.”

a Or “O righteous God.” b Literally, “what I speak.” c Or “proper sacrifices.”
