Psalm 4:1-2
1599 Geneva Bible

4 When Saul persecuted him, he called upon God, trusting most assuredly in his promise, and therefore boldly reproveth his enemies, who willfully resisted his dominion, 7 and finally preferreth the favor of God before all worldly treasures.

[a]To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalm of David.

1 Hear me when I call, [b]O God of my righteousness: thou hast set me at liberty, when I was in [c]distress: have mercy upon me, and hearken unto my prayer.

2 O ye [d]sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame, [e]loving vanity, and seeking lies? Selah.
