Berean Standard Bible
“I will lie down and sleep in peace, for You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.”
Psalms 4 is often called an evening psalm, a prayer for the end of the day. David calls on God to answer him, speaks to people who love empty things and lies, and contrasts their restless search for good with the deeper joy God has put in his heart.
