Psalm 4

For the worship leader. A song of David accompanied by strings.

Answer my prayers, O True God, the righteous, who makes me right.
    I was hopelessly surrounded, and You rescued me.
Once again hear me; hide me in Your favor;
    bring victory in defeat and hope in hopelessness.

How long will you sons of Adam steal my dignity, reduce my glory to shame?
    Why pine for the fruitless and dream a delusion?

[pause][a]

Understand this: The Eternal One treats as special those like Him.
    The Eternal will answer my prayers and save me.
