4:4 | Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah. |
4:5 | Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD. |
4:6 | There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us. |
4:7 | Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased. |
