me: thou hast made room for me in tribulation; pity me, and hearken to my
prayer.
4:2 O ye sons on men, how long [will ye be] slow of heart? wherefore do ye
love vanity, and seek falsehood? Pause.
4:3 But know ye that the Lord has done wondrous things for his holy one: the
Lord will hear me when I cry to him.

say in your hearts. Pause.
4:5 Offer the sacrifice of righteousness, and trust in the Lord.
4:6 Many say, Who will shew us good things? the light of thy countenance, O
Lord, has been manifested towards us.
4:7 Thou hast put gladness into my heart: they have been satisfied with the
fruit of their corn and wine and oil.
4:8 I will both lie down in peace and sleep: for thou, Lord, only hast
caused me to dwell securely. |
