Psalm 4:2-3, 4-5, 7b-8
Chapter 4
2
Lord, You Give Me Peace in Mind
Answer when I call, O God, my justice!When I was in distress, you gave me solace.Have compassion on me and hear my plea.3
And you, people, how long will you harden your hearts? How long will you delight in deceit and go in search of falsehood?
4
But you must know that the Lord has shown his kindness to me. When I call to him, he hears me.
5
Be angry, but don’t offend.Keep your words to yourself, when you are in bed, and be still.
7
Many ask, “Who will give us a happy time? Would, that his favor shine upon us!”
8
You, O Lord, have put joy in my heart; more than by giving me wine and food.
