Psalms 4
1 For the chief musician; on stringed instruments. A psalm of David. Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness; give me room when I am hemmed in. Have mercy on me and listen to 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 You people, how long will you turn my honor into shame? How long will you love that which is worthless and seek after lies? (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 Yahweh sets apart the godly for himself. Yahweh 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 Tremble in fear, but do not sin! Meditate 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 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness and put your trust in Yahweh.
Offer the sacrifices of righteousnes, and trust in the Lord.
6 Many say, “Who will show us anything good?” Yahweh, lift up the light of your face on us.
Many say, Who will shewe vs any good? but Lord, lift vp the light of thy countenance vpon vs.
7 You have given my heart more gladness than others have when their grain and new wine abound.
Thou hast giuen mee more ioye of heart, then they haue had, when their wheate and their wine did abound.
8 It is in peace that I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Yahweh, make me safe and secure.
I will lay mee downe, and also sleepe in peace: for thou, Lord, onely makest me dwell in safetie.
