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 the victorie in orguns; the salm of Dauid. Whanne Y inwardli clepid, God of my riytwisnesse herde me; in tribulacioun thou hast alargid to me.
2 Sons of men! Until when [is] my glory for shame? You love a vain thing, you seek a lie. (Selah)
Haue thou mercy on me; and here thou my preier. Sones of men, hou long ben ye of heuy herte? whi louen ye vanite, and seken a leesyng?
3 And know that YHWH Has separated a saintly one to Himself. YHWH hears in my calling to Him.
And wite ye, that the Lord hath maad merueilous his hooli man; the Lord schal here me, whanne Y schal crye to hym.
4 “Tremble, and do not sin”; Say [thus] in your heart on your bed, And be silent. (Selah)
Be ye wrothe, and nyle ye do synne; `and for tho thingis whiche ye seien in youre hertis and in youre beddis, be ye compunct.
5 Sacrifice sacrifices of righteousness, And trust in YHWH.
Sacrifie ye `the sacrifice of riytfulnesse, and hope ye in the Lord; many seien, Who schewide goodis to vs?
6 Many are saying, “Who shows us good?” Lift on us the light of Your face, O YHWH,
Lord, the liyt of thi cheer is markid on vs; thou hast youe gladnesse in myn herte.
7 You have given joy in my heart, From the time their grain and their wine Have been multiplied.
Thei ben multiplied of the fruit of whete, and of wyn; and of her oile.
8 Together I lie down and sleep in peace, For You, O YHWH, alone, Cause me to dwell in confidence!
In pees in the same thing; Y schal slepe, and take reste. For thou, Lord; hast set me syngulerli in hope.
