The Book of Psalms, Chapter 4
|
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.
