Psalm 4

Answer Me When I Call

To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.

Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness!     You have given me relief when I was in distress.     Be gracious to me and hear my prayer!

O men, how long shall my honor be turned into shame?     How long will you love vain words and seek after lies? Selah But know that the Lord has set apart the godly for himself;     the Lord hears when I call to him.

Be angry, and do not sin;     ponder in your own hearts on your beds, and be silent. Selah Offer right sacrifices,     and put your trust in the Lord.

There are many who say, “Who will show us some good?     Lift up the light of your face upon us, O Lord!” You have put more joy in my heart     than they have when their grain and wine abound.

In peace I will both lie down and sleep;     for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.

Hebrews 4:16

16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Galatians 6:1

Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted.

Psalm 16:11

11 You make known to me the path of life;     in your presence there is fullness of joy;     at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

Matthew 11:28-30

28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Isaiah 26:3-4

You keep him in perfect peace     whose mind is stayed on you,     because he trusts in you. Trust in the Lord forever,     for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.

1 Peter 5:7

casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.
