Lyrics (Psalm 4:2, 4, 7-8, 9):
Response: Lord, let your face shine on us.
When I call, answer me, O my just God,
you who relieve me when I am in distress;
have pity on me, and hear my prayer! Response
Know that the LORD does wonders for his faithful one;
the LORD will hear me when I call upon him. Response
O LORD, let the light of your countenance shine upon us!
You put gladness in my heart. Response
As soon as I lie down, I fall peacefully asleep,
for you alone, O LORD,
bring security to my dwelling. Response
