Psalm 4-6
New King James Version
The Safety of the Faithful
To the [a]Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.
4 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness!You have relieved me in my distress;[b]Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
2 How long, O you sons of men,Will you turn my glory to shame?How long will you love worthlessnessAnd seek falsehood? Selah3 But know that the Lord has [c]set apart for Himself him who is godly;The Lord will hear when I call to Him.
4 Be[d] angry, and do not sin.Meditate within your heart on your bed, and be still. Selah5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness,And put your trust in the Lord.
6 There are many who say,“Who will show us any good?”Lord, lift up the light of Your countenance upon us.7 You have put gladness in my heart,More than in the season that their grain and wine increased.8 I will both lie down in peace, and sleep;For You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.
A Prayer for Guidance
To the Chief Musician. With [e]flutes. A Psalm of David.
5 Give ear to my words, O Lord,Consider my [f]meditation.2 Give heed to the voice of my cry,My King and my God,For to You I will pray.3 My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord;In the morning I will direct it to You,And I will look up.
4 For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness,Nor shall evil [g]dwell with You.5 The boastful shall not stand in Your sight;You hate all workers of iniquity.6 You shall destroy those who speak falsehood;The Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
7 But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy;In fear of You I will worship toward [h]Your holy temple.8 Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness because of my enemies;Make Your way straight before my face.
9 For there is no [i]faithfulness in their mouth;Their inward part is destruction;Their throat is an open tomb;They flatter with their tongue.10 Pronounce them guilty, O God!Let them fall by their own counsels;Cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions,For they have rebelled against You.
11 But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You;Let them ever shout for joy, because You [j]defend them;Let those also who love Your nameBe joyful in You.12 For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous;With favor You will surround him as with a shield.
A Prayer of Faith in Time of Distress
To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. On [k]an eight-stringed harp. A Psalm of David.
6 O Lord, do not rebuke me in Your anger,Nor chasten me in Your hot displeasure.2 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak;O Lord, heal me, for my bones are troubled.3 My soul also is greatly troubled;But You, O Lord—how long?
4 Return, O Lord, deliver me!Oh, save me for Your mercies’ sake!5 For in death there is no remembrance of You;In the grave who will give You thanks?
6 I am weary with my groaning;[l]All night I make my bed swim;I drench my couch with my tears.7 My eye wastes away because of grief;It grows old because of all my enemies.
8 Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity;For the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.9 The Lord has heard my supplication;The Lord will receive my prayer.10 Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly troubled;Let them turn back and be ashamed suddenly.

Salmo 4
El Señor me escucha cuando lo llamo
4 Al maestro de coro; con instrumentos de cuerda. Salmo de David.2 Respóndeme cuando te llame,tú, oh Dios, que eres mi defensor;tú que en la angustia me confortaste,apiádate de mí, escucha mi oración.3 Y vosotros, ¿hasta cuándo me deshonraréis,amaréis lo vano y desearéis lo falso? [ Pausa]4 Sabed que el Señor enaltece al que es fiel,el Señor me escucha cuando lo llamo.5 Temblad y no pequéis más,meditad en vuestro lecho y guardad silencio; [ Pausa]6 ofreced sacrificios justos, confiad en el Señor.7 Muchos dicen: “¿Quién nos mostrará el bien?”.¡Extiende sobre nosotros la luz de tu rostro, Señor!8 Tú has alegrado mi corazónmás que cuando abunda el trigo y el mosto.9 En paz me acuesto y al instante me duermoporque sólo tú, Señor, me haces vivir tranquilo.
Salmo 5
Señor, por la mañana escuchas mi voz
5 Al maestro del coro; con flautas. Salmo de David.2 Señor, escucha mis palabras, atiende mi queja;3 Rey mío, Dios mío, oye mi grito de socorro,que a ti dirijo mi ruego.4 Señor, por la mañana escuchas mi súplica;de madrugada ante ti la presentoy me quedo esperando.5 No eres un Dios que desee la maldad,en ti no encuentra refugio el malvado.6 No resisten tu mirada los necios,odias a los malhechores,7 aniquilas a los mentirosos;al cruel y al traidor, el Señor lo aborrece.8 Pero yo, por tu inmenso amor,acudiré a tu moraday me postraré venerándote en tu santuario.9 Señor, guíame con tu justiciaporque tengo enemigos,allana ante mí tu camino.10 No es su boca sincera,su interior es perverso,una tumba abierta es su garganta,aduladora es su lengua.11 Castígalos, Señor,que fracasen sus planes;expúlsalos por sus muchos crímenes,porque se han rebelado contra ti.12 ¡Que se alegren los que en ti confían,que por siempre se regocijen!Protege a los que te aman,para que se gocen en ti;13 porque tú, Señor, bendices al justoy tu bondad lo rodea como escudo.
Salmo 6
Vuélvete, Señor, ponme a salvo
6 Al maestro del coro; para instrumentos de cuerda; en octava. Salmo de David.2 Señor, no me reprendas airado,no me castigues con furia.3 Señor, apiádate de mí que estoy débil;fortaléceme, pues me siento sin fuerzas4 y estoy profundamente abatido.Señor, ¿hasta cuándo?5 Mírame, Señor, y ponme a salvo;que tu amor me libre de la muerte,6 pues si uno muere pierde tu recuerdo;pues ¿quién puede alabarteen el reino de los muertos?7 Estoy cansado de llorar,cada noche baño en lágrimas mi cama,con mi llanto inundo mi lecho.8 Mis ojos se consumen de dolor,envejecen de tanta tristeza.9 ¡Alejaos de mí, malvados,porque el Señor ha escuchado mi llanto!10 El Señor ha escuchado mi ruego,el Señor ha acogido mi súplica.11 Mis enemigos, confusos y aterrados,huirán, quedarán de repente humillados.
