Psalm 4

Jubilee Bible 2000

To the Overcomer in Neginoth, 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 the lie? 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; meditate in your heart upon your bed, and desist. Selah.

⁵ Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.

⁶ ¶ There are 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 in the time that their grain and their wine multiplied.

⁸ I will both lay me down in peace and sleep: for thou only, O LORD, dost make me to be confident.
