Psalm 4
An Evening Prayer of
Trust in God |
To the chief Musician on
Neg'inoth, A Psalm of
David. |
|
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: Eph.
4.26
|
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
show 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. |
