Psalm 4
or Coverdale
Cum invocarem

¹ Answer me when I call, O God, defender of my cause; *
you set me free when I am hard-pressed;
have mercy on me and hear my prayer.
² "You mortals, how long will you dishonor my glory; *
how long will you worship dumb idols
and run after false gods?"
³ Know that the Lord does wonders for the faithful; *
when I call upon the Lord, he will hear me.
⁴ Tremble, then, and do not sin; *
speak to your heart in silence upon your bed.
⁵ Offer the appointed sacrifices *
and put your trust in the Lord.
⁶ Many are saying,
"Oh, that we might see better times!" *
Lift up the light of your countenance upon us, O Lord.
⁷ You have put gladness in my heart, *
more than when grain and wine and oil increase.
⁸ I lie down in peace; at once I fall asleep; *
for only you, Lord, make me dwell in safety.
