Psalm 4

LOrd, Patron of my righteousnesse,
answer me when I cry,
When I was in great straits, thou didst
set me at liberty.
With favour, Lord, respect me now,
I sue only for grace;
Accept and hear the pray'r that I
pour out before thy face.

You great mens sons, how long will ye
my glory turn to shame?
Your whole delight's in vanity,
to seek lies is your aime.
But know that God hath for himself
the godly set apart,
And he will hear me when I cry
to him with all my heart.

Tremble, and fear, and sin no more,
with your own hearts advise
Upon your beds, quiet the thoughts
which in your minds do rise.
Make peace with God by sacrifice
of truth and uprightnesse,
And in Jehovah put your trust
with holy stedfastnesse.

Many enquire for worldly good,
that they may it embrace;
But lift thou up on us, O Lord,
the brightnesse of thy face.
That hath rejoic'd me more, and made
mine heart within more glad,
Then those that of their Corn and Wine
a large increase have had.

With that therefore lie dow will I
and sleep in quiet peace,
For thou alone, Lord, mak'st me dwell
in confidence and ease.
