| 4:1 | When I call, give me answers. God, take my side! Once, in a tight place, you gave me room; Now I'm in trouble again: grace me! hear me! |
| 4:2 | You rabble--how long do I put up with your scorn? How long will you lust after lies? How long will you live crazed by illusion? |
| 4:3 | Look at this: look Who got picked by GOD! He listens the split second I call to him. |
| 4:4 | Complain if you must, but don't lash out. Keep your mouth shut, and let your heart do the talking. |
| 4:5 | Build your case before God and wait for his verdict. |
| 4:6 | Why is everyone hungry for [more]? "More, more," they say. "More, more." I have God's more-than-enough, |
| 4:7 | More joy in one ordinary day Than they get in all their shopping sprees. |
| 4:8 | At day's end I'm ready for sound sleep, For you, GOD, have put my life back together. |
