1For the leader, with stringed instruments. A psalm of David. Answer my cry, God, my defender. Often from straits you have brought me to spacious places. So now show me your favour and hear my prayer.
2How long, you proud people, will my honour be stained by the slanders you love, and the lies that you follow? Selah
3See! The Lord has shown me his wonderful kindness: the Lord hears, when I call to him.
4Sin not in your anger: but speak in your heart on your bed, and be still. Selah
5Offer true sacrifice, trust in the Lord.
6Many are longing for fortune to smile. Lift upon us the light of your face.
Psalms 4
Psalms 4:1-6
