Psalms 4
1 For the end, a Song of David among
the Psalms.
2 When I called upon
him, the God of my righteousness heard me: thou hast
made room for me in tribulation; pity me, and hearken to my prayer.
3 O ye sons of men, how long
will ye be
aLit. heavy of heart.slow of heart? wherefore do ye love vanity, and seek falsehood? Pause.
4 But know ye that the Lord has done
wondrous things for his holy one: the Lord will hear me when I cry to him.
5 bEph. 4. 26.
Be ye angry, and sin not; feel compunction upon your beds for what ye say in
your hearts. Pause. 6 Offer the
sacrifice of righteousness, and trust in the Lord.
7 Many say, Who will shew us good
things? the light of thy countenance, O Lord, has been manifested towards us.
8 Thou hast put gladness into my
heart: they have been satisfied with the fruit of their corn and wine and oil.
9 I will
cOr, at the same time.both lie down in peace and sleep: for thou, Lord, only hast caused me to
dwell securely.
