- Chapter 4 -

Answer me when I call!

To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme of Dauid. Heare me when I call, O God of my righteousnes: thou hast set me at libertie, when I was in distresse: haue mercie vpon me and hearken vnto my prayer.

O ye sonnes of men, howe long will yee turne my glory into shame, louing vanitie, and seeking lyes? Selah.

For be ye sure that the Lord hath chosen to himselfe a godly man: the Lord will heare when I call vnto him.

Tremble, and sinne not: examine your owne heart vpon your bed, and be still. Selah.

Offer the sacrifices of righteousnes, and trust in the Lord.

Many say, Who will shewe vs any good? but Lord, lift vp the light of thy countenance vpon vs.

Thou hast giuen mee more ioye of heart, then they haue had, when their wheate and their wine did abound.

I will lay mee downe, and also sleepe in peace: for thou, Lord, onely makest me dwell in safetie.

Answer me when I call!

Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. Give me relief from my distress. Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.

You sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? Will you love vanity and seek after falsehood? Selah.

But know that the LORD has set apart for himself him who is godly; The LORD will hear when I call to him.

Stand in awe, and don’t sin. Search your own heart on your bed, and be still. Selah.

Offer the sacrifices of righteousness. Put your trust in the LORD.

Many say, “Who will show us any good?” LORD, let the light of your face shine on us.

You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.

In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me live in safety.
