Answer Me When I Call!

For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.

1Answer me when I call,

O God of my righteousness!

You have relieved my distress;

show me grace and hear my prayer.

  • PS 4:1[NOTE]FOR THE CHOIRMASTER. Fifty five psalms have this note. It may mean these songs belonged to the temple music leader's collection.

2How long, O men, will my honor be maligned?

How long will you love vanity and seek after lies?

Selah

3Know that Yahweh has set apart the godly for Himself;

Yahweh hears when I call to Him.

4Be angry, yet do not sin;

on your bed, search your heart and be still.

Selah

  • PS 4:4[QUOTED]Quoted in the New Testament → EPH 4:26

5Offer the sacrifices of the righteous

and trust in Yahweh.

6Many ask, “Who can show us the good?”

Shine the light of Your face upon us, O Yahweh.

7You have filled my heart with more joy

than when grain and new wine abound.

8I will lie down and sleep in peace,

for You alone, O Yahweh, make me dwell in safety.

Frequently asked questions

What is TOM?

TOM is The Owner's Manual, a free translation built on the Berean Standard Bible. It uses modern measurements, prints Yahweh where the Hebrew has God's name, and puts words missing from the earliest manuscripts in [square brackets]. Every change is listed in How It Was Translated.

What do the colors mean?

Each color marks one kind of verse: lime green for prophecies about the Messiah, teal for miracles, sand for archaeology, and so on. Tap any color in the chapter key to turn it off. Use Customize to choose exactly which ones you see.

Can I read without highlights?

Yes. Turn off the Highlights switch at the top for plain text. Your choice is remembered on this device.

Do the other translations have the colors too?

Yes. The colors, red letters, bloodline names and study notes come from TOM and are matched to every other translation verse by verse, so you can read the KJV, NIV or any other translation here with the same study helps.

Is this free?

Yes. The whole Bible is free to read online. The printed Owner's Manual Study Bible is coming soon.
