Psalm 4

 Psalm 4


Answer Me When I Call


To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.


    [1] 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!


    [2] O men, how long shall my honor be turned into shame?

        How long will you love vain words and seek after lies? Selah 

    [3] But know that the LORD has set apart the godly for himself;

        the LORD hears when I call to him.


    [4] Be angry, and do not sin;

        ponder in your own hearts on your beds, and be silent. Selah 

    [5] Offer right sacrifices,

        and put your trust in the LORD.


    [6] There are many who say, “Who will show us some good?

        Lift up the light of your face upon us, O LORD!” 

    [7] You have put more joy in my heart

        than they have when their grain and wine abound.


    [8] In peace I will both lie down and sleep;

        for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.

Faith in God.

Sleep in Peace.

Believe.

I immediately thought of My Poems about Night Angels:

Night Angel 1

Night Angel

Night Angel,
Call to the angel,
in the night.

Close your eyes,
Fall to sleep,
Wait for a
Sweet heavy hand,
On your shoulder,
Weary traveller,
roam the World,
Oh, Night Angel.

And you fly over,
All the pain and sorrow,
All the stress and strain,
What do you find unfair,
What makes you sad,
Night Angel?

Wish tonight,
For your Perfect world,
For better days,
For justice fair,
For a letting go
of hate,
Night Angel,
Will you be here,
tonight?



Night Angel 2

Night Angel
Oh, Where are you?
The darkness came,
Where did you go?

How to coax you?
Simple Angel,
Where do you hide
When it all falls apart?

Are you there,
There in the darkness,
Even when,
I cannot see?

Do you whisper,
words of urging,
to be the best
that I can be?

What if,
My own Night Angel,
There is no sound,
I cannot hear you?
What If my ears,
no longer work?
Will you touch
my shoulder softly?
Let me know,
you are alright.

Oh Night Angel,
Hurry softly,
Hurry back,
Hurry back,
tonight.
