Psalm 4:2-4

Contemporary English Version

²How long will you people
refuse to respect me?^[a]
You love foolish things,
and you run after
what is worthless.^[b]

³The Lord has chosen
    everyone who is faithful
to be his very own,^[c]
    and he answers my prayers.
⁴^(A) But each of you
had better tremble
    and turn from your sins.
Silently search your heart
    as you lie in bed.
