The Psalter of David

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.

9 I lie down quietly and sleep, for you, O Lord, alone give me to live in safety.

Psalm 5

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

2 Hear, O Lord, my words, understand my thoughts.

3 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, O my King and my God. for I pray to Thee.

4 Lord! hear my voice early, and I will stand before thee early, and I will wait;

5 for thou art God, who loveth not iniquity; the wicked shall not dwell with Thee;

6 The wicked shall not abide in thy sight: thou hatest all that doeth iniquity.

7 Thou shalt destroy them that speak lies; the bloodthirsty and treacherous is abhorred by the Lord.

8 But I, according to the abundance of thy mercy, will enter into thy house, and worship thy holy temple in thy fear.

9 Lord! guide me in Thy righteousness, for the sake of my enemies; level Thy way before me.

10 For there is no truth in their mouths: their heart is destruction, their throat is an open sepulchre, they flatter with their tongues.

11 Condemn them, O God, that they may fall from their designs; because of the multitude of their wickedness, cast them away, for they have rebelled against you.

12 And all those who trust in you will rejoice, they will rejoice for ever, and you will protect them. and they that love thy name shall glory in thee.
