Psalm 4:1-3
Good News Translation

Evening Prayer for Help[a]

4 Answer me when I pray,
    O God, my defender!
When I was in trouble, you helped me.
    Be kind to me now and hear my prayer.

2 How long will you people insult me?
    How long will you love what is worthless
    and go after what is false?

3 Remember that the Lord has chosen the righteous for his own,
    and he hears me when I call to him.
