Psalm 4

21st Century King James Version

4 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness! Thou hast set me at large 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 lies? 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 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, more than in the time when their corn and wine increased.

⁸ I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep; for Thou Lord only, makest me dwell in safety.
