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.
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 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 sonnes of men, howe long will yee turne my glory into shame, louing vanitie, and seeking lyes? (Selah)
3 But know that the LORD has set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call to 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 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart on 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 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 shewe vs any good? but Lord, lift vp the light of thy countenance vpon vs.
7 You have put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.
Thou hast giuen mee more ioye of heart, then they haue had, when their wheate and their wine did abound.
8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for you, LORD, only make me dwell in safety.
I will lay mee downe, and also sleepe in peace: for thou, Lord, onely makest me dwell in safetie.
