Psalms of David 4
4
Cum invocarem.
Psalm IV.
T. S.
1O God that art my righteousness,
Lord hear me when I call:
Thou hast set me at liberty,
when I was bound in thrall:
2Have mercy, Lord, therefore on me,
and grant me my request:
For unto thee incessantly,
to cry I will not rest.
3O mortal men, how long will ye?
my glory thus despise?
Why wander ye in vanity,
and follow after lyes?
4Know ye that good and godly men
the Lord doth take and chuse:
And when to him I make complaint,
he doth me not refuse.
5Sin not, but stand in awe therefore
examine well your heart;
And in your chamber quietly,
see you your selves convert.
6Offer to God the Sacrifice
of righteousness and praise:
And look that in the living Lord
you put your trust always.
7The greater sort crave worldly goods,
and riches do embrace:
But, Lord, grant us thy countenance,
thy favour and thy grace.
8For thou thereby shalt make my heart
more joyful and more glad,
Than they that of their corn and wine
full great increase have had.
9In peace therefore lie down will I,
taking my rest and sleep:
For thou only dost me, O Lord,
preserve and safely keep.
