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.
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 ye sonnes of men, howe long will yee turne my glory into shame, louing vanitie, and seeking lyes? (Selah)
O ye sons of men, how long will you be dull of heart? why do you love vanity, and seek after lying?
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 ye also that the Lord hath made his holy one wonderful: the Lord will hear me when I shall cry unto him.
4 Tremble, and sinne not: examine your owne heart vpon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
Be angry, and sin not: the things you say in your hearts, be sorry for them upon your beds.
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousnes, 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 shewe vs any good? but Lord, lift vp the light of thy countenance vpon vs.
The light of thy countenance O Lord, is signed upon us: thou hast given gladness in my heart.
7 Thou hast giuen mee more ioye of heart, then they haue had, when their wheate and their wine did abound.
By the fruit of their corn, their wine and oil, they are multiplied.
8 I will lay mee downe, and also sleepe in peace: for thou, Lord, onely makest me dwell in safetie.
In peace in the selfsame I will sleep, and I will rest: For thou, O Lord, singularly hast settled me in hope.
