When
You Are Disturbed,
Do
Not Sin
Answer me when I call, O God of my right!
You gave me room when I was in distress. Be gracious to me, and hear my prayer.
How long, you people, shall my honor
suffer shame? How long will you love vain words, and seek after lies? Selah
But know that the LORD has set apart the
faithful for himself; the LORD hears when I call to him.
When you are disturbed, do not sin;
ponder it on your beds, and be silent. Selah
Offer right sacrifices, and put your trust in the LORD.
There are many who say, "O that we
might see some good! Let the light of your face shine on us, O LORD!" You
have put gladness in my heart more than when their grain and wine abound.
I will both lie down and sleep in peace;
for you alone, O LORD, make me lie down in safety.
Psalm 4:1-8
When you are angry, do not express it by
disobeying God. When you lie down at night, do it in heart-searching silence. Live sacrificially, putting your trust in the Lord.
He rests well who
rests in Jesus.
