Psalms 4
1 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: you have enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
For the End, a Song of David among [the ]Psalms. When I called upon [him], the God of my righteousness heard me: thou hast made room for me in tribulation; pity me, and hearken to my prayer.
2 O you sons of men, how long will you turn my glory into shame? how long will you love vanity, and seek after leasing? (Selah)
O ye sons of men, how long [will ye be] slow of heart? wherefore do ye love vanity, and seek falsehood? (Pause)
3 But know that the LORD has set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call to him.
But know ye that the Lord has done wondrous things for his holy one: the Lord will hear me when I cry to him.
4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart on your bed, and be still. (Selah)
Be ye angry, and sin not; feel compunction upon your beds for what ye say in your hearts. (Pause)
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
Offer the sacrifice of righteousness, and trust in the Lord.
6 There be many that say, Who will show us any good? LORD, lift you up the light of your countenance on us.
Many say, Who will shew us good things? the light of thy countenance, O Lord, has been manifested towards us.
7 You have put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.
Thou hast put gladness into my heart: they have been satisfied with the fruit of their corn and wine and oil.
8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for you, LORD, only make me dwell in safety.
I will both lie down in peace and sleep: for thou, Lord, only hast caused me to dwell securely.
