Look To God - Psalm 4

Look to God full of Righteousness seek His face for your answer He brings relief to the distressful full of sovereign love He's no chancer Mankind you are so full of vanity honour you disrespect lies are your fill but know this the Lord loves the godly for He hears my call being in His will Sinfulness is a terrible thing don't do it ponder and be silent deep in your heart be sure to offer the correct sacrifice then trust in the Lord that's the best part So many say we can't see any good but only the Lord can show His true light I've joy in my heart filled to overflow more than the world has with all their might God gives me His perfect peace so I can lie down so very still for God alone is my rock safely dwelling in Him so brill! (Psalm 4 (ESV) 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! O men, how long shall my honour be turned into shame? How long will you love vain words and seek after lies? But know that the Lord has set apart the godly for himself; the Lord hears when I call to him. Be angry, and do not sin; ponder in your own hearts on your beds, and be silent. Offer right sacrifices, and put your trust in the Lord. There are many who say, “Who will show us some good? Lift up the light of your face upon us, O Lord!” You have put more joy in my heart than they have when their grain and wine abound. In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety. )
