Psalm 4

Answer Me When I Call

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

4 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!

2 O men, how long shall my honor be turned into shame?     How long will you love vain words and seek after lies? Selah 3 But know that the Lord has set apart the godly for himself;     the Lord hears when I call to him.

4 Be angry, and do not sin;     ponder in your own hearts on your beds, and be silent. Selah 5 Offer right sacrifices,     and put your trust in the Lord.

6 There are many who say, “Who will show us some good?     Lift up the light of your face upon us, O Lord!” 7 You have put more joy in my heart     than they have when their grain and wine abound.

8 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

6 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

3 You keep him in perfect peace     whose mind is stayed on you,     because he trusts in you. 4 Trust in the Lord forever,     for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.

1 Peter 5:7

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