< Psalms 4 >

1 For the End, a Song of David amongst [the ]Psalms. When I called upon [him], the God of my righteousness heard me: you have made room for me in tribulation; pity me, and listen to my prayer.
Unto the end, in verses. A psalm for David. When I called upon him, the God of my justice heard me: when I was in distress, thou hast enlarged me. Have mercy on me: and hear my prayer.
2 O you sons of men, how long [will you be] slow of heart? therefore do you love vanity, and seek falsehood? (Pause)
O ye sons of men, how long will you be dull of heart? why do you love vanity, and seek after lying?
3 But know you that the Lord has done wondrous things for his holy one: the Lord will hear me when I cry to him.
Know ye also that the Lord hath made his holy one wonderful: the Lord will hear me when I shall cry unto him.
4 Be you angry, and sin not; feel compunction upon your beds for what you say in your hearts. (Pause)
Be angry, and sin not: the things you say in your hearts, be sorry for them upon your beds.
5 Offer the sacrifice of righteousness, and trust in the Lord.
Offer up the sacrifice of justice, and trust in the Lord: many say, Who sheweth us good things?
6 Many say, Who will show us good things? the light of your countenance, O Lord, has been manifested towards us.
The light of thy countenance O Lord, is signed upon us: thou hast given gladness in my heart.
7 You have put gladness into my heart: they have been satisfied with the fruit of their corn and wine and oil.
By the fruit of their corn, their wine and oil, they are multiplied.
8 I will both lie down in peace and sleep: for you, Lord, only have caused me to dwell securely.
In peace in the selfsame I will sleep, and I will rest: For thou, O Lord, singularly hast settled me in hope.
