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.
