Psalm 4B: Psalm 4

Penitence, 11.11.11.11. (Trochaic) [E]

1. ¹ Answer when I call, O God who justifies.
In my stress You freed me; hear in grace my cries.
² Sons of men, how long will you my glory shame?
Will you love what's worthless? Will lies be your aim?

2. ³ Know the LORD His saints has set apart in grace,
And the LORD will hear me when I seek His face.
⁴ Tremble in your anger, yet from sin depart.
On your bed in silence speak within your heart.

3. ⁵ May you sacrifice now sacrifices just,
In Jehovah only placing all your trust.
⁶ "Who will show us goodness?" many people say;
The light of Your face, LORD, lift on us, we pray.

4. ⁷ You have given my heart greater joy by far
Than when grain and new wine most abundant are.
⁸ So in peace I lie down; I will rest and sleep,
For, O LORD, You only will me safely keep.
