4 He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh, and the Lord shall mock him.

5 Then shall he say unto them in his wrath, and with his wrath shall cause them to be troubled,

6 "I have anointed my King over Zion, my holy mountain;

7 I will declare the decree: The Lord said to me, Thou art my Son; I have begotten thee this day;

8 Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for your possession.

9 Thou shalt smite them with a rod of iron; you will break them like a potter's vessel."

10 Understand, therefore, O kings; learn, judges of the earth!

11 Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

12 Honour the Son, lest he be angry, and lest ye perish in your way, for his wrath shall soon be kindled. Blessed are all who trust in Him.

Psalm 3

1 The Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.

2 Lord! How my enemies have multiplied! Many are rebelling against me

3 Many say to my soul, 'There is no salvation for him in God.'

4 But thou, O Lord, art a shield before me, my glory, and thou liftest up my head.

5 With my voice I cry unto the Lord, and he heareth me from his holy mountain.

6 I lie down, sleep, and rise, for the Lord protects me.

7 I will not be afraid of those of the people who are arrayed against me on all sides.

8 Arise, O Lord! save me, O my God! for Thou smitest all my enemies in the cheek; you break the teeth of the wicked.

9 Salvation is from the Lord. Thy blessing be upon Thy people.

Psalm 4

1 To the head of the choir. On string instruments. Psalm of David.

2 When I cry out, hear me, O God of my righteousness! In the cramped space Thou didst give me space. Have mercy on me and hear my prayer.

3 Sons of men! How long will my glory be in reproach? How long will you love vanity, and seek falsehood?

4 Know ye that the Lord has set apart for himself his holy one; The Lord hears when I call upon Him.

5 When you are angry, do not sin: meditate in your hearts on your couches, and be quiet;

6 Offer sacrifices of righteousness, and trust in the Lord.

7 Many say, 'Who will show us good?' Show us the light of Thy countenance, O Lord!

8 Thou hast filled my heart with gladness, from the time that bread and wine and oil abounded among them.
