About this psalm
Trust · Lament · Attributed to David
Traditionally attributed to David, Psalm 4 is an evening prayer, often paired with the morning prayer of Psalm 3. The setting may have been a hard season when many were asking where good would come from, though the details are uncertain. Christians have long prayed it at the close of the day.
