Psalms 4

Thomson(i) 1 For the conclusion with psalms. An Ode by David. When I made my supplication; my righteous God heard me: thou hast enlarged me in distress: be gracious to me and hear my prayer. 2 Sons of men! how long will you be stubborn! why love ye vanity and seek falsehood? 3 Know that the Lord hath made his holy one Wonderful. The Lord will hearken to me when I cry to him. 4 Are you provoked to wrath? Do not therefore commit sin. What you say in your hearts be sorry for, on your beds. 5 Offer a sacrifice of righteousness and trust in the Lord. 6 Many say, Who will shew us good things? On us, Lord, is marked the light of thy countenance: 7 thou hast put gladness in my heart. Because of the increase of their corn and wine and oil they are filled; 8 while I will lay me down in peace and sleep because thou, Lord, hast only caused me to dwell in hope.
