| The Holy Bible: King James Version. 2000. | | The Psalms | | 4 |
An Evening Prayer of Trust in God |
| To the chief Musician on Neg'inoth, A Psalm of David. |
|
| 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: Eph. 4.26
| | |
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 show 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. |
|
|
