PSALM 4
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.

2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye blas- | -pheme mine honour,

* and have such pleasure in vanity, and | seek after falsehood?

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 sacri- | -fice of righteousness,

* and put your | trust in the LORD.

6 There be | many• that say,

* Who will | show us any good?

7 LORD, | lift thou up

* the light of thy | countenance upon us.

8 Thou hast put gladness | in my heart;

* yea, more than when their corn and | wine and oil increase.

9 I will lay me down in peace, and | take my rest;

* for it is thou, LORD, only, that | makest• me dwell in safety.

Glory be to the Father, and | to the Son,

* and | to the Holy Ghost,

As it was in the beginning, is now, and | ever shall be,

* world without | end.  Amen.
