| Chapter 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. |
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. |
