Psalms 4
1 Hear me when I call, O Elohim of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
`To the victorie in orguns; the salm of Dauid. Whanne Y inwardli clepid, God of my riytwisnesse herde me; in tribulacioun thou hast alargid to me.
2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? (Selah)
Haue thou mercy on me; and here thou my preier. Sones of men, hou long ben ye of heuy herte? whi louen ye vanite, and seken a leesyng?
3 But know that YHWH hath set apart him that is righteous for himself: YHWH will hear when I call unto him.
And wite ye, that the Lord hath maad merueilous his hooli man; the Lord schal here me, whanne Y schal crye to hym.
4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
Be ye wrothe, and nyle ye do synne; `and for tho thingis whiche ye seien in youre hertis and in youre beddis, be ye compunct.
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in YHWH.
Sacrifie ye `the sacrifice of riytfulnesse, and hope ye in the Lord; many seien, Who schewide goodis to vs?
6 There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? YHWH, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
Lord, the liyt of thi cheer is markid on vs; thou hast youe gladnesse in myn herte.
7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.
Thei ben multiplied of the fruit of whete, and of wyn; and of her oile.
8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, YHWH, only makest me dwell in safety.
In pees in the same thing; Y schal slepe, and take reste. For thou, Lord; hast set me syngulerli in hope.
