(Psalms 4-7)


Psalm 4
Glory to shame; peace.


Psalm 5
Listen to cry; bow

 1Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.
 2Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.
 3My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.
 4For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
 5The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
 6Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
 7But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
 8Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.
 9For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.
 10Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.
 11But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
 12For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.





Psalm 6
Weeping; God's rebuke

1O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
 2Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
 3My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?
 4Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake.
 5For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?
 6I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.
 7Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.
 8Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.
 9The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.
 10Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly



Psalm 7
Deliverance; end wicked

1O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
 2Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
 3O LORD my God, If I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;
 4If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)
 5Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.
 6Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.
 7So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.
 8The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.
 9Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
 10My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.
 11God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
 12If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
 13He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
 14Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
 15He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
 16His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
 17I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.

May these Psalms bring you peace and assurance
