Lord, how are they increased that trouble me: many are they that
rise against me.
2 Many one there be that say of my soul: There is no help for him
in his God.
3 But thou, O Lord, art my defender: thou art my worship, and the
lifter up of my head.
4 I did call upon the Lord with my voice: and he heard me out of
his holy hill.
5 I laid me down and slept, and rose up again: for the Lord
sustained me.
6 I will not be afraid for ten thousands of the people: that have
set themselves against me round about.
7 Up, Lord, and help me, O my God: for thou smitest all mine
enemies upon the cheek-bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the
ungodly.
8 Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: and thy blessing is upon thy
people.
PSALM 4. _Cum invocarem_.
Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast set me at
liberty when I was in trouble; have mercy upon me, and hearken unto
my prayer.
2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye blaspheme mine honour: and
have such pleasure in vanity, and seek after leasing?
3 Know this also, that the Lord hath chosen to himself the man that
is godly: when I call upon the Lord, he will hear me.
4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart, and in
your chamber, and be still.
5 Offer the sacrifice of righteousness: and put your trust in the
Lord.
