Psalm 4
O God, you have declared me perfect in your eyes;
you have always cared for me in my distress; now hear me as I call again. Have
mercy on me. Hear my prayer.
2 The Lord God asks, “Sons of men, will you forever
turn my glory into shame by worshiping these silly idols, when every claim
that’s made for them is false?”
3 Mark this well: The Lord has set apart the redeemed
for himself. Therefore he will listen to me and answer when I call to him. 4
Stand before the Lord in awe, and do not sin against him. Lie quietly upon your
bed in silent meditation. 5 Put your trust in the Lord, and offer him pleasing
sacrifices.
6 Many say that God will never help us. Prove them
wrong, O Lord, by letting the light of your face shine down upon us. 7 Yes, the
gladness you have given me is far greater than their joys at harvest time as
they gaze at their bountiful crops. 8 I will lie down in peace and sleep, for
though I am alone, O Lord, you will keep me safe.
Back to reading the book of Psalms. Here is another beautiful song written by David . The last lines make me think of the picture of the lion lying down with the lamb. Sorry I don't have a picture of them together.
