Psalms:4-5
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Hear me when I call ,
O God of my righteousness :
thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress ;
have mercy upon me ,
and hear my prayer .
*
O ye sons of men ,
how long will ye turn my glory into shame ?
how long will ye love vanity ,
and seek after leasing ?
Selah .
*
But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself :
the LORD will hear when I call unto him .
*
Stand in awe ,
and sin not :
commune with your own heart upon your bed ,
and be still .
Selah .
*
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness ,
and put your trust in the LORD .
*
There be many that say ,
Who will shew us any good ?
LORD ,
lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us .
*
Thou hast put gladness in my heart ,
more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased .
*
I will both lay me down in peace ,
and sleep :
for thou ,
LORD ,
only makest me dwell in safety .
*
Give ear to my words ,
O LORD ,
consider my meditation .
*
Hearken unto the voice of my cry ,
my King ,
and my God :
for unto thee will I pray .
*
My voice shalt thou hear in the morning ,
O LORD ;
in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee ,
and will look up .
*
For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness :
neither shall evil dwell with thee .
*
The foolish shall not stand in thy sight :
thou hatest all workers of iniquity .
*
Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing :
the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man .
*
But as for me ,
I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy :
and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple .
*
Lead me ,
O LORD ,
in thy righteousness because of mine enemies ;
make thy way straight before my face .
*
For there is no faithfulness in their mouth ;
their inward part is very wickedness ;
their throat is an open sepulchre ;
they flatter with their tongue .
*
Destroy thou them ,
O God ;
let them fall by their own counsels ;
cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions ;
for they have rebelled against thee .
*
But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice :
let them ever shout for joy ,
because thou defendest them :
let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee .
*
For thou ,
LORD ,
wilt bless the righteous ;
with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield .
*
O LORD ,
rebuke me not in thine anger ,
neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure .
