King James VersionPsalms4

Psalms

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 leas­ing? 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 be many that say, Who will shew 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 that their corn and their wine in­creased.
8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only mak­est me dwell in safe­ty.
