Psalm 4 - New Life Version (NLV)

Evening Prayer of Trust

4 Answer me when I call, O my God Who is right and good! You have made a way for me when I needed help. Be kind to me, and hear my prayer.

2 O sons of men, how long will you turn my honor into shame? How long will you love what is of no use, and run after lies? 3 Know that the Lord has set apart him who is God-like for Himself. The Lord hears when I call to Him.

4 Shake with anger and do not sin. When you are on your bed, look into your hearts and be quiet. 5 Give the gifts that are right and good, and trust in the Lord.

6 Many are asking, “Who will show us any good?” Let the light of Your face shine on us, O Lord. 7 You have filled my heart with more happiness than they have when there is much grain and wine. 8 I will lie down and sleep in peace. O Lord, You alone keep me safe.
