Psalm 4:2-4
The Voice

2 How long will you sons of Adam steal my dignity, reduce my glory to shame?
    Why pine for the fruitless and dream a delusion?

[pause][a]

3 Understand this: The Eternal One treats as special those like Him.
    The Eternal will answer my prayers and save me.

4 Think long; think hard. When you are angry, don’t let it carry you into sin.
    When night comes, in calm be silent.

[pause]
