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