Psalms 4: (ASV)
|
1) Answer 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 shall my glory be turned into dishonor? How long will ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? [Selah]
|
3) But know that Jehovah hath set apart for himself him that is godly: Jehovah 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 Jehovah.
|
6) Many there are that say, Who will show us any good? Jehovah, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
|
7) Thou hast put gladness in my heart, More than they have when their grain and their new wine are increased.
|
8) In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; For thou, Jehovah, alone makest me dwell in safety.
