The Psalmes of David | ||
Psal. 4. Cùm invocarem.
Ad Præstantem in Neghinoth: Psalmus David.
1
To thee, O God, my righteousnesse,let my complaint repaire:
5
in mercie heare my praier.
2
My glorie (sonnes of man) to shamehow long will ye apply?
Your love shall vanitie enflame,
your labour seeke a lye.
3
But know, that of his gracious Saintthe Lord makes wondrous choice;
And when to him I make my plaint,
the Lord will heare my voice.
5
Thy selfe upon thy bed arraigne,and to thy selfe reveale.
6
The sacrifices ye present,let Justice sacrifice;
And let your hope be confident,
that on the Lord relies.
7
Of good (say many) is there nonewill shew us any sight?
On us, Lord (all our good in one)
lift up thy faces light.
8
Pure joy into this heart of mineso shalt thou give me, more
Than theirs, that of their corne and wine
in harvest heap up store.
9
My head then downe will I both lay,and sleep in peaces cell:
For thou alone, O Lord, my stay,
in safetie mak'st me dwell.
