Psalms 4:2

ShameConflict and reconciliation

1 Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved my distress; show me grace and hear my prayer.

How long, O men, will my honor be maligned? How long will you love vanity and seek after lies ? Selah

3 Know that the LORD has set apart the godly for Himself; the LORD hears when I call to Him.

4 Be angry, yet do not sin; on your bed, search your heart and be still. Selah
