Psalm 4
For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm of David.
1Answer me when I call to you,O my righteous God. Give me relief from my distress; be merciful to me and hear my prayer. 2How long, O men, will you turn my glory into shameOr you dishonor my Glorious One? How long will you love delusions and seek false godsOr seek lies? Selah 3Know that the LORD has set apart the godly for himself; the LORD will hear when I call to him. 4In your anger do not sin; when you are on your beds, search your hearts and be silent. Selah 5Offer right sacrifices and trust in the LORD. 6Many are asking, “Who can show us any good?” Let the light of your face shine upon us, O LORD. 7You have filled my heart with greater joy than when their grain and new wine abound. 8I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety. Psalm 5
For the director of music. For flutes. A psalm of David.
1Give ear to my words, O LORD,consider my sighing. 2Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray. 3In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation. 4You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil; with you the wicked cannot dwell. 5The arrogant cannot stand in your presence; you hate all who do wrong. 6You destroy those who tell lies; bloodthirsty and deceitful men the LORD abhors. 7But I, by your great mercy, will come into your house; in reverence will I bow down toward your holy temple. 8Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies— make straight your way before me. 9Not a word from their mouth can be trusted; their heart is filled with destruction. Their throat is an open grave; with their tongue they speak deceit. 10Declare them guilty, O God! Let their intrigues be their downfall. Banish them for their many sins, for they have rebelled against you. 11But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you. 12For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield. Psalm 6
For the director of music. With stringed instruments. According to sheminith.Title: Probably a musical term A psalm of David.
1O LORD, do not rebuke me in your angeror discipline me in your wrath. 2Be merciful to me, LORD, for I am faint; O LORD, heal me, for my bones are in agony. 3My soul is in anguish. How long, O LORD, how long? 4Turn, O LORD, and deliver me; save me because of your unfailing love. 5No one remembers you when he is dead. Who praises you from the graveHebrew Sheol? 6I am worn out from groaning; all night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears. 7My eyes grow weak with sorrow; they fail because of all my foes. 8Away from me, all you who do evil, for the LORD has heard my weeping. 9The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; the LORD accepts my prayer. 10All my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed;
they will turn back in sudden disgrace. |
