Psalms 4:4 Context
2O ye sonnes of men, how long will yee turne my glory into shame? how long will yee loue vanitie, and seeke after leasing? Selah. 3But know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly, for himselfe: the Lord will heare when I call vnto him. 4Stand in awe, and sinne not: commune with your owne heart vpon your bed, and be still. Selah. 5Offer the sacrifices of righteousnesse, and put your trust in the Lord. 6There be many that say, Who wil shew vs any good? Lord lift thou vp the light of thy countenance vpon vs.
