¶The argument of the .iiii. psalme

¶ Dauid at the rebellion of his sonne Absalom, cryeth to God for helpe. He reproueth the chiefe doers of his aduersaries, and exhorteth them to repent. He is glad that they haue plentie of victuals and other necessaries, seyng that he him selfe is assu∣red of God his fauour.

¶ To the () 1.1 chiefe musition on () 1.2 Neginoth, a psalme of Dauid.

1 HEare me when I call O God (a) 1.3 of my righteousnesse: thou hast set me at libertie when I was in dis∣tresse.

2 O ye sonnes of (b) 1.4 men, how long [wyll ye go about to bryng] my glory to confusi∣on? ye loue vanitie, ye seeke after lyes. Selah.

3 For ye must know that God hath cho∣sen to him selfe a godly [man]: God wyl heare when I call vnto hym.

4 Be ye angry, but sinne not: commune with your owne heart in your chaum∣ber, and be styll. Selah.

5 Offer the sacrifice of righteousnesse: and put your trust in God.

6 There be many that say, who wyll shewe vs [any](c) 1.5 good? O God lift thou vp the light of thy countenaunce vpon (d) 1.6 vs.

7 Thou hast put gladnesse in my heart: since the time that their corne and wine increased.

8 I wyll lay me downe in peace and take my rest: for thou God only makest me to dwell in safetie.
