Psalm 4:1-3 To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.

Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have given me relief when I was in distress. Be gracious to me and hear my prayer! O men, how long shall My honor be turned into shame? How long will you love vain words and seek after lies? Selah But know that the LORD has set apart the godly for Himself; the LORD hears when I call to Him.

I know You are hearing me, Lord, as I cry for the awareness of Your Presence. I Know that I am numbered among those that You have set apart for Yourself. Answer me, Lord. Tell me why You are withholding this from me?

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me.
