Psalm 4

CM
When I to you make my address,
My righteous God, then hear.
Give me relief from my distress,
Show mercy, hear my prayer.

For how long, you people, will you,
With scorn my glory treat?
How long false gods will you pursue?
How long love such deceit?

Know that the Lord has set apart
His servant to his care;
The Lord will hear, when I impart
To him my earnest prayer.

When you are angry, do not sin;
In bed, searched hearts be stilled.
Right sacrifices make to him,
With trust in God be filled.

Now many ask, ‘O who can show
A thing that's good to us?’
So turn, O Lord, and let us know
Light shining from your face.

Lord, when grain and new wine abound,
My heart with joy be filled.
Through you alone is safety found
Laid down in peace, I sleep.
