Psalms 4:2 Context
1[To the chiefe Musician on Neginoth, A Psalme of Dauid.] Heare me, when I call, O God of my righteousnesse: thou hast inlarged mee when I was in distresse, haue mercy vpon me, and heare my prayer. 2O ye sonnes of men, how long will yee turne my glory into shame? how long will yee loue vanitie, and seeke after leasing? Selah. 3But know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly, for himselfe: the Lord will heare when I call vnto him. 4Stand in awe, and sinne not: commune with your owne heart vpon your bed, and be still. Selah.
