Context
Psalm 4
4:1 For the music director, to be accompanied by stringed instruments; a psalm of David. When I call out, answer me, O God who vindicates me! Though I am hemmed in, you will lead me into a wide, open place. Have mercy on me and respond to my prayer! 4:2 You men, how long will you try to turn my honor into shame? How long will you love what is worthless and search for what is deceptive? (Selah) 4:3 Realize that the Lord shows the godly special favor; the Lord responds when I cry out to him. 4:4 Tremble with fear and do not sin! Meditate as you lie in bed, and repent of your ways! (Selah) 4:5 Offer the prescribed sacrifices and trust in the Lord! 4:6 Many say, “Who can show us anything good?” Smile upon us, Lord! 4:7 You make me happier than those who have abundant grain and wine. 4:8 I will lie down and sleep peacefully, for you, Lord, make me safe and secure.
