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, since the 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.
