Psalms 4

Unto the end, in verses. A psalm for David. When I called upon him, the God of my justice heard me: when I was in distress, thou hast enlarged me. Have mercy on me: and hear my prayer.

  1. 3 O ye sons of men, how long will you be dull of heart? why do you love vanity, and seek after lying?

  2. 4 Know ye also that the Lord hath made his holy one wonderful: the Lord will hear me when I shall cry unto him.

  3. 5 Be ye angry, and sin not: the things you say in your hearts, be sorry for them upon your beds.

  4. 6 Offer up the sacrifice of justice, and trust in the Lord: many say, Who sheweth us good things?

  5. 7 The light of thy countenance, O Lord, is signed upon us: thou hast given gladness in my heart.

  6. 8 By the fruit of their corn, their wine, and oil, they are multiplied:

  7. 9 In peace in the self same I will sleep, and I will rest:

  8. 10 For thou, O Lord, singularly hast settled me in hope.
