Psalm 4

For the choir director; with stringed instruments; a psalm by David.

Answer me when I call, O Elohim of my righteousness.
    You have freed me from my troubles.
    Have pity on me, and hear my prayer!

You important people,
    how long are you going to insult my honor?
    How long are you going to love what is empty
        and seek what is a lie? Selah
