Psalms 4
1 To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. When I call, answer me, O God of my righteousness: in pressure thou hast enlarged me; be gracious unto me, 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 Ye sons of men, till when is my glory [to be put] to shame? [How long] will ye love vanity, will ye seek after a lie? (Selah)
O ye sonnes of men, howe long will yee turne my glory into shame, louing vanitie, and seeking lyes? (Selah)
3 But know that Jehovah hath set apart the pious [man] for himself: Jehovah will hear when I call unto 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 moved with anger, and sin not; meditate in your own hearts upon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
Tremble, and sinne not: examine your owne heart vpon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
5 Offer sacrifices of righteousness, and confide in Jehovah.
Offer the sacrifices of righteousnes, and trust in the Lord.
6 Many say, Who shall cause us to see good? Lift up upon us the light of thy countenance, O Jehovah.
Many say, Who will shewe vs any good? but Lord, lift vp the light of thy countenance vpon vs.
7 Thou hast put joy in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their new wine was in abundance.
Thou hast giuen mee more ioye of heart, then they haue had, when their wheate and their wine did abound.
8 In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; for thou, Jehovah, alone makest me to dwell in safety.
I will lay mee downe, and also sleepe in peace: for thou, Lord, onely makest me dwell in safetie.
