Peace When the Night Gets Heavy

Answer me when I call, God, who vindicates me.  You freed me from affliction; be gracious to me and hear my prayer.

How long, exalted ones,  will my honor be insulted? How long will you love what is worthless and pursue a lie? Selah

Know that the Lord has set apart the faithful for himself; the Lord will hear when I call to him.

Be angry  and do not sin; reflect in your heart while on your bed and be silent.  Selah

Offer sacrifices in righteousness and trust in the  Lord. 

Many are asking, “Who can show us anything good? ” Let the light of your face shine on us,  Lord. 

You have put more joy in my heart than they have when their grain and new wine abound. 

I will both lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, Lord, make me live in safety. 

Psalm 4:1-8 CSB
