Psalms 4

1 David prayeth for audience. 2 He reproveth and exhorteth his enemies. 6 Man's happiness is in God's favour.

 4:1 ¶ 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.

 4:2 O ye sons of men, how long will you be dull of heart? why do you love vanity, and seek after lying?

 4:3 Know ye also that the Lord hath made his holy one wonderful: the Lord will hear me when I shall cry unto him.

 4:4 Be ye angry, and sin not: the things you say in your hearts, be sorry for them upon your beds.

 4:5 Offer up the sacrifice of justice, and trust in the Lord: many say, Who sheweth us good things?

 4:6 The light of thy countenance, O Lord, is signed upon us: thou hast given gladness in my heart.

 4:7 By the fruit of their corn, their wine, and oil, they are multiplied.

 4:8 In peace in the selfsame I will sleep, and I will rest: For thou, O Lord, singularly hast settled me in hope.
