Psalms 4
1 For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved my distress; show me grace and hear my prayer.
To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme of Dauid. Heare me when I call, O God of my righteousnes: thou hast set me at libertie, when I was in distresse: haue mercie vpon me and hearken vnto my prayer.
2 How long, O men, will my honor be maligned? How long will you love vanity and seek after lies?
O ye sonnes of men, howe long will yee turne my glory into shame, louing vanitie, and seeking lyes? (Selah)
3 Know that the LORD has set apart the godly for Himself; the LORD hears when I call to Him.
For be ye sure that the Lord hath chosen to himselfe a godly man: the Lord will heare when I call vnto him.
4 Be angry, yet do not sin; on your bed, search your heart and be still.
Tremble, and sinne not: examine your owne heart vpon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
5 Offer the sacrifices of the righteous and trust in the LORD.
Offer the sacrifices of righteousnes, and trust in the Lord.
6 Many ask, “Who can show us the good?” Shine the light of Your face upon us, O LORD.
Many say, Who will shewe vs any good? but Lord, lift vp the light of thy countenance vpon vs.
7 You have filled my heart with more joy than when grain and new wine abound.
Thou hast giuen mee more ioye of heart, then they haue had, when their wheate and their wine did abound.
8 I will lie down and sleep in peace, for You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
I will lay mee downe, and also sleepe in peace: for thou, Lord, onely makest me dwell in safetie.
