1902 Rotherham's Emphasized Bible (EBR)

Psalms 4

1 David prayeth for audience. 2 He reproveth and exhorteth his enemies. 6 Man's happiness is in God's favour.

 4:1 ¶ [[To the Chief Musician: with stringed instruments. A Melody of David.]] When I cry, answer me, O mine own righteous God, In a strait place, thou hast made room for me, Show me favour, and hear my prayer.

 4:2 Ye sons of the great! how long, turning my glory to contempt, will ye love emptiness, will ye seek falsehood? [Selah.]

 4:3 Know ye, then, that Yahweh hath set apart the man of lovingkindness for himself: Yahweh, will hear, when I cry to him.

 4:4 Be deeply moved, but do not sin,—Ponder in your own heart upon your bed, and be silent. [Selah.]

 4:5 Sacrifice the sacrifices of righteousness; and put your trust in Yahweh.

 4:6 ¶ Multitudes, are saying, Who will show us prosperity? Lift thou upon us the light of thy countenance, O Yahweh.

 4:7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart,—beyond the season when, their corn and their new wine, have increased.

 4:8 In peace, will I lay me down and at once sleep; for, thou, Yahweh alone, wilt cause me, in security, to dwell.
