Psalms 4
Answer Me When I Call
To the achoirmaster: with bstringed instruments. A Psalm of David.
1 Answer me when I call, O God of my crighteousness!You have dgiven me relief when I was in distress.
Be gracious to me and hear my prayer!
2 O men, ▼
▼Or O men of rank
how long shall my honor be turned into shame?How long will you love vain words and seek after flies? Selah
3But know that the Lord has gset apart hthe godly for himself;
the Lord hears when I call to him.
4 iBe angry, ▼
▼Or Be agitated
and do not sin;kponder in your own hearts lon your beds, and be silent. Selah
5Offer mright sacrifices,
and put your ntrust in the Lord.
6 There are many who say, “Who will show us some good?
oLift up pthe light of your face upon us, O Lord!”
7You have put qmore joy in my heart
than they have when their grain and wine abound.
8 In peace I will both rlie down and sleep;
for you alone, O Lord, make me sdwell in safety.
Psalms 121
My Help Comes from the Lord
A Song of tAscents.
1 I ulift up my eyes to vthe hills.From where does my help come?
2 wMy help comes from the Lord,
who xmade heaven and earth.
3 He will not ylet your foot be moved;
he who zkeeps you will not slumber.
4Behold, he who keeps Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is your keeper;
the Lord is your aashade on your abright hand.
6 acThe sun shall not adstrike you by day,
nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord will aekeep you from all evil;
he will afkeep your life.
8The Lord will keep
your aggoing out and your coming in
from this time forth and forevermore.
