< Psalms 4 >
1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm of David. Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me [when I was] in distress; have mercy upon 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 ye sons of men, how long [will ye turn] my glory into shame? [how long] will ye love vanity, [and] seek after falsehood? (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 hath 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 upon 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 are] many that say, Who will show us [any] good? LORD, lift thou upon us the light of thy countenance.
Many say, Who will shewe vs any good? but Lord, lift vp the light of thy countenance vpon vs.
7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time [when] 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 thou only, LORD, makest me dwell in safety.
I will lay mee downe, and also sleepe in peace: for thou, Lord, onely makest me dwell in safetie.
