Psalm 4:2

A Night Prayer

¹ Give answer to my cry, O God of my righteousness; make me free from my troubles; have mercy on me, and give ear to my prayer. ² O you sons of men, how long will you go on turning my glory into shame? how long will you give your love to foolish things, going after what is false? (Selah.) ³ See how the Lord has made great his mercy for me; the Lord will give ear to my cry.
