The Fourth Psalm

Cum invocarem.

---

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.
 
O ye sons of men, how long will ye blaspheme mine honour, * and have such pleasure in vanity, and seek after falsehood?
 
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.
 
Stand in awe, and sin not; * commune with your own heart, and in your chamber, and be still.
 
Offer the sacrifice of righteousness, * and put your trust in the LORD.
 
There be many that say, * Who will show us any good?
 
LORD, lift thou up * the light of thy countenance upon us.
 
Thou hast put gladness in my heart; * yea, more than when their corn and wine and oil increase.
 
I will lay me down in peace, and take my rest; * for it is thou, LORD, only, that makest me dwell in safety.
