Psalms 4:1
Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer. Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
Psalm 4:1 is the prayer and experience of the sons and daughters of God who receive and believe in Christ as their Redeemer. To address God as the God of one's righteousness is to call with confidence that He hears when called. It is to remember with gratitude that He has given relief and enlargement in past distress. It is to ask Him for mercy and for Him to hear prayer.
