Psalm 4 Saturday Compline
When I
call, answer me, * God of my vindication;
in a
jam, clear my way; * have pity on me and hear my prayer.
Men of rank, how long * must my Glorious One
be insulted?
How long will you worship superstition *
or consult false gods.
Know that Yahweh will work wonders for his
worshiper, * that Yahweh will hear me when I call to him.
Be disquieted, but do not sin; * examine
your hearts; * go to bed and weep.
Offer legitimate sacrifices * and trust
in Yahweh.
Many keep saying, * “Who will show us rain?
the light of your face * has fled from
us, Yahweh.”
Put happiness in my heart; * now let their
wheat and their wine increase.
In his
peaceful presence, * I shall lie down and sleep,
for
you alone, Yahweh, * make my repose secure.
