New Living Translation (NLT)
Psalm 3
5 I lay down and slept, yet I woke up in safety, for the LORD was watching over me.
6 I am not afraid of ten thousand enemies who surround me on every side.
7 Arise, O LORD! Rescue me, my God! Slap all my enemies in the face! Shatter the teeth of the wicked!
8 Victory comes from you, O LORD. May you bless your people. Interlude
Psalm 4
1 Answer me when I call to you, O God who declares me innocent. Free me from my troubles. Have mercy on me and hear my prayer.
2 How long will you people ruin my reputation? How long will you make groundless accusations? How long will you continue your lies? Interlude
3 You can be sure of this: The LORD set apart the godly for himself. The LORD will answer when I call to him.
4 Don’t sin by letting anger control you. Think about it overnight and remain silent. Interlude
5 Offer sacrifices in the right spirit, and trust the LORD.
6 Many people say, “Who will show us better times?” Let your face smile on us, LORD.
7 You have given me greater joy than those who have abundant harvests of grain and new wine.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
