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 the victorie in orguns; the salm of Dauid. Whanne Y inwardli clepid, God of my riytwisnesse herde me; in tribulacioun thou hast alargid to me.
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)
Haue thou mercy on me; and here thou my preier. Sones of men, hou long ben ye of heuy herte? whi louen ye vanite, and seken a leesyng?
3 But know that Jehovah hath set apart the pious [man] for himself: Jehovah will hear when I call unto him.
And wite ye, that the Lord hath maad merueilous his hooli man; the Lord schal here me, whanne Y schal crye to hym.
4 Be moved with anger, and sin not; meditate in your own hearts upon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
Be ye wrothe, and nyle ye do synne; `and for tho thingis whiche ye seien in youre hertis and in youre beddis, be ye compunct.
5 Offer sacrifices of righteousness, and confide in Jehovah.
Sacrifie ye `the sacrifice of riytfulnesse, and hope ye in the Lord; many seien, Who schewide goodis to vs?
6 Many say, Who shall cause us to see good? Lift up upon us the light of thy countenance, O Jehovah.
Lord, the liyt of thi cheer is markid on vs; thou hast youe gladnesse in myn herte.
7 Thou hast put joy in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their new wine was in abundance.
Thei ben multiplied of the fruit of whete, and of wyn; and of her oile.
8 In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; for thou, Jehovah, alone makest me to dwell in safety.
In pees in the same thing; Y schal slepe, and take reste. For thou, Lord; hast set me syngulerli in hope.
