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.
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.
