Psalms 4
1 For the Leader; with string-music. A Psalm of David. Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness, Thou who didst set me free when I was in distress; 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 O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be put to shame, in that ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? (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 the LORD hath set apart the godly man as His own; the LORD 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 Tremble, and sin not; commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
Tremble, and sinne not: examine your owne heart vpon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
Offer the sacrifices of righteousnes, and trust in the Lord.
6 Many there are that say: 'Oh that we could see some good!' LORD, lift Thou up the light of Thy countenance upon us.
Many say, Who will shewe vs any good? but Lord, lift vp the light of thy countenance vpon vs.
7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than when their corn and their wine increase.
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, LORD, makest me dwell alone in safety.
I will lay mee downe, and also sleepe in peace: for thou, Lord, onely makest me dwell in safetie.
