Psalms

Psalm 4

For the End, a Song of David among the Psalms.

1When I called upon him, the God of my righteousness heard me: you have made room for me in tribulation; pity me, and listen to my prayer.

2O you⌃ sons of men, how long will you⌃ be 1 slow of heart? therefore do you⌃ love vanity, and seek falsehood? Pause.

3But know you⌃ that the Lord has done wondrous things for his holy one: the Lord will hear me when I cry to him.

4Be you⌃ angry, and sin not; feel compunction upon your beds for what you⌃ say in your hearts. Pause.

5Offer the sacrifice of righteousness, and trust in the Lord.

6Many say, Who will show us good things? the light of your countenance, O Lord, has been manifested towards us.

7You have put gladness into my heart: they have been satisfied with the fruit of their corn and wine and oil.

8I will 2 both lie down in peace and sleep: for you, Lord, only have caused me to dwell securely.

  1. Lit. heavy of heart.
  2. Or. at the same time.
