Psalm 4

Cum invocarem exaudivit

  1. Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness : thou hast set me at liberty when I was in trouble; have mercy upon me, and hearken unto my prayer.
  2. O ye sons of men, how long will ye blaspheme mine honour : and have such pleasure in vanity, and seek after leasing?
  3. Know this also, that the Lord hath chosen to himself the man that is godly : when I call upon the Lord, he will hear me.
  4. Stand in awe, and sin not : commune with your own heart, and in your chamber, and be still.
  5. Offer the sacrifice of righteousness : and put your trust in the Lord.
  6. There be many that say : Who will shew us any good?
  7. Lord, lift thou up : the light of thy countenance upon us.
  8. Thou hast put gladness in my heart : since the time that their corn and wine and oil increased.
  9. I will lay me down in peace, and take my rest : for it is thou, Lord, only, that makest me dwell in safety.
