# Chapter 4
|
||
1 Answer me when I call to you,
|
||
O God who declares me innocent.
|
||
Free me from my troubles.
|
||
Have mercy on me and hear my prayer.
|
||
2 How long will you people ruin my reputation?
|
||
How long will you make groundless accusations?
|
||
How long will you continue your lies? Interlude
|
||
3 You can be sure of this:
|
||
The Lord set apart the godly for himself.
|
||
The Lord will answer when I call to him.
|
||
4 Don’t sin by letting anger control you.
|
||
Think about it overnight and remain silent. Interlude
|
||
5 Offer sacrifices in the right spirit,
|
||
and trust the Lord.
|
||
6 Many people say, “Who will show us better times?”
|
||
Let your face smile on us, Lord.
|
||
7 You have given me greater joy
|
||
than those who have abundant harvests of grain and new wine.
|
||
8 In peace I will lie down and sleep,
|
||
for you alone, O Lord, will keep me safe. |
