Dwell in Safety

Dwell in Safety (Psalm 4)
[Verse 1]
Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness!
Thou hast enlarged me in the chains of distress!
Have mercy upon me, hear my desperate cry!
O ye sons of men, how long will you defame?
Turn my glory into shame, chase the empty flame?
How long love vanity, seek after lies? Selah!
[Pre-Chorus]
But know this truth eternal, carved in stone divine:
The LORD hath set apart the godly as His own!
[Chorus]
The LORD will hear when I call unto Him!
Stand in awe, and sin no more!
Commune with your heart in the silence of night,
Be still… be still! Selah!
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness,
Put your trust in the LORD eternal!
[Verse 2]
Many voices cry in the darkness of doubt:
“Who will show us any good? Where is hope now?”
LORD, lift Thou up the light of Thy countenance!
Shine upon us, break the chains of despair!
[Bridge]
Thou hast put gladness deep in my heart,
More than their corn and wine, more than worldly gain!
In Thy presence, joy overflows like a flood!
[Chorus]
The LORD will hear when I call unto Him!
Stand in awe, and sin no more!
Commune with your heart upon your bed,
Be still… and know He reigns!
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness,
Put your trust in the LORD!
[Outro]
I will lay me down in peace, and sleep…
For Thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety!
In Thy shadow, no fear shall overtake,
Forever safe in Thy embrace…
Dwell in safety!
