Psalms 3; Psalms 4

1 <The psalm of David when he fled from the face of his son Absalom.> (3:1)

2 Many say to my soul: There is no salvation for him in his God.

3 But thou, O Lord, art my protector, my glory, and the lifter up of my head.

4 I have cried to the Lord with my voice: and he hath heard me from his holy hill.

5 I have slept and have taken my rest: and I have risen up, because the Lord hath protected me.

6 I will not fear thousands of the people surrounding me: arise, O Lord; save me, O my God.

7 For thou hast struck all them who are my adversaries without cause: thou hast broken the teeth of sinners.

8 Salvation is of the Lord: and thy blessing is upon thy people.

1 <Unto the end, in verses. A psalm for David.> (4-2) When I called upon him, the God of my justice heard me: when I was in distress, thou hast enlarged me. Have mercy on me: and hear my prayer.

2 (4-3) O ye sons of men, how long will you be dull of heart? why do you love vanity, and seek after lying?

3 (4-4) Know ye also that the Lord hath made his holy one wonderful: the Lord will hear me when I shall cry unto him.

4 (4-5) Be ye angry, and sin not: the things you say in your hearts, be sorry for them upon your beds.

5 (4-6) Offer up the sacrifice of justice, and trust in the Lord: many say, Who sheweth us good things?

6 (4-7) The light of thy countenance, O Lord, is signed upon us: thou hast given gladness in my heart.

7 (4-8) By the fruit of their corn, their wine, and oil, they rest:

8 (4-9) In peace in the self same I will sleep, and I will rest: (4-10) For thou, O Lord, singularly hast settled me in hope.
