1 Hear me when I call, <br /> O God of my righteousness: <br /> thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; <br /> have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer. <br /> <br />2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? <br /> how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah. <br /> <br />3 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: <br /> the LORD will hear when I call unto him. <br /> <br />4 Stand in awe, and sin not: <br /> commune with your own heart upon your bed, <br /> and be still. Selah. <br /> <br />5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, <br /> and put your trust in the LORD. <br /> <br />6 There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? <br /> LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us. <br /> <br />7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, <br /> more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased. <br /> <br />8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: <br /> for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety. <br /> <br />(KJV)<br /><br />King David of Israel<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/psalm-4-for-thou-lord-only-makest-me-dwell-in-safety/
