Psalms 4; Psalms 5; Psalms 6

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.

1 <Unto the end, for her that obtaineth the inheritance. A psalm for David.> (5-2) Give ear, O Lord, to my words, understand my cry.

2 (5-3) Hearken to the voice of my prayer, O my King and my God.

3 (5-4) For to thee will I pray: O Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear my voice.

4 (5-5) In the morning I will stand before thee, and I will see: because thou art not a God that willest iniquity.

5 (5-6) Neither shall the wicked dwell near thee: nor shall the unjust abide before thy eyes.

6 (5-7) Thou hatest all the workers of iniquity: thou wilt destroy all that speak a lie. The bloody and the deceitful man the Lord will abhor.

7 (5-8) But as for me in the multitude of thy mercy, I will come into thy house; I will worship towards thy holy temple, in thy fear.

8 (5-9) Conduct me, O Lord, in thy justice: because of my enemies, direct my way in thy sight.

9 (5-10) For there is no truth in their mouth: their heart is vain.

10 (5-11) Their throat is an open sepulchre: they dealt deceitfully with their tongues: judge them, O God. Let them fall from their devices: according to the multitude of their wickednesses cast them out: for they have provoked thee, O Lord.

11 (5-12) But let all them be glad that hope in thee: they shall rejoice for ever, and thou shalt dwell in them. And all they that love thy name shall glory in thee.

12 (5-13) For thou wilt bless the just. O Lord, thou hast crowned us, as with a shield of thy good will.

1 <Unto the end, in verses, a psalm for David, for the octave.> (6-2) O Lord, rebuke me not in thy indignation, nor chastise me in thy wrath.

2 (6-3) Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak: heal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled.

3 (6-4) And my soul is troubled exceedingly: but thou, O Lord, how long?

4 (6-5) Turn to me, O Lord, and deliver my soul: O save me for thy mercy’s sake.

5 (6-6) For there is no one in death, that is mindful of thee: and who shall confess to thee in hell?

6 (6-7) I have laboured in my groanings, every night I will wash my bed: I will water my couch with my tears.

7 (6-8) My eye is troubled through indignation: I have grown old amongst all my enemies.

8 (6-9) Depart from em, all ye workers of iniquity: for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.

9 (6-10) The Lord hath heard my supplication: the Lord hath received my prayer.

10 (6-11) Let all my enemies be ashamed, and be very much troubled: let them be turned back, and be ashamed very speedily.
