Psalm 4 (Siloam CM)

1 Give ear unto me when I call,God of my righteousness:Have mercy, hear my pray’r; thou hastenlarg’d me in distress.2 O ye the sons of men! how longwill ye love vanities?How long my glory turn to shame,and will ye follow lies?3 But know, that for himself the Lordthe godly man doth chuse:The Lord, when I on him do call,to hear will not refuse.4 Fear, and sin not; talk with your hearton bed, and silent be.5 Off ‘rings present of righteousness,and in the Lord trust ye.6 O who will shew us any good?is that which many say:But of thy countenance the light,Lord, lift on us alway.7 Upon my heart, bestow’d by thee,more gladness I have foundThan they, ev’n then, when corn and winedid most with them abound.8 I will both lay me down in peace,and quiet sleep will take;Because thou only me to dwellin safety, Lord, dost make.
