Psalms 4
1 TO THE OVERSEER. WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. A PSALM OF DAVID. In my calling answer me, O God of my righteousness. In adversity You gave enlargement to me; Favor 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 Sons of men! Until when [is] my glory for shame? You love a vain thing, you seek a lie. (Selah)
O ye sonnes of men, howe long will yee turne my glory into shame, louing vanitie, and seeking lyes? (Selah)
3 And know that YHWH Has separated a saintly one to Himself. YHWH hears in my calling 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 “Tremble, and do not sin”; Say [thus] in your heart on your bed, And be silent. (Selah)
Tremble, and sinne not: examine your owne heart vpon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
5 Sacrifice sacrifices of righteousness, And trust in YHWH.
Offer the sacrifices of righteousnes, and trust in the Lord.
6 Many are saying, “Who shows us good?” Lift on us the light of Your face, O YHWH,
Many say, Who will shewe vs any good? but Lord, lift vp the light of thy countenance vpon vs.
7 You have given joy in my heart, From the time their grain and their wine Have been multiplied.
Thou hast giuen mee more ioye of heart, then they haue had, when their wheate and their wine did abound.
8 Together I lie down and sleep in peace, For You, O YHWH, alone, Cause me to dwell in confidence!
I will lay mee downe, and also sleepe in peace: for thou, Lord, onely makest me dwell in safetie.
