Psalms 4

Excerpt

1 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. 2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame ? how long will ye love vanity , and seek after leasing? Selah . 3 But know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the Lord will hear when I call unto him. 4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah . 5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the Lord . 6 There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? Lord , lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us. 7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased. 8 I will both lay me down in peace , and sleep: for thou, Lord , only makest me dwell in safety.
