Psalm 4:2

A Night Prayer

¹ 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 sons of men, how long will my honor become a reproach?
How long will you love what is worthless and aim at deception? Selah.
³ But know that the LORD has set apart the godly for himself; the LORD hears when I call to him.
