Psalms — Chapter 4
David pleads for mercy—He counsels, Put your trust in the Lord.
1
aHear me when I call, O God of my brighteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in cdistress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
2
O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into ashame? how long will ye love bvanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.
3
But know that the Lord hath aset apart him that is bgodly 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 asacrifices 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 acountenance upon us.
7
Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their acorn and their wine increased.
8
I will both lay me down in apeace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety.
