4:1  When Saul persecuted him, he called upon God, trusting most assuredly in his promise, and therefore boldly reproveth his enemies, who willfully resisted his dominion, 7 and finally preferreth the favor of God before all worldly treasures. To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalm of David. Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast set me at liberty, when I was in distress: have mercy upon me, and hearken unto my prayer.
4:2  O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame, loving vanity, and seeking lies? Selah.
4:3  For be ye sure that the Lord hath chosen to himself a godly man, the Lord will hear when I call unto him.
4:4  Tremble and sin not: examine your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.
4:5  Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and trust in the Lord.
4:6  Many say, Who will show us any good? but Lord, lift up the light of thy countenance upon us.
4:7  Thou hast given me more joy of heart, than they have had, when their wheat and their wine did abound.
4:8  I will lay me down, and also sleep in peace: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety.
