Psalm 4:9a Douay-Rheims

For thou, O Lord, singularly hast settled me in hope.

George Leo Haydock

1774–1849 Catholic

Singularly. Art “alone” (Pagnin) the source of all my happiness; (Haydock) or thou hast taken such care of me, as if thou hadst no other. (Menochius) — I am at a distance from the contagion of evil company, (St. Chrysostom) which I hate. (Berthier) — “For thou only art Lord, thou hast made me dwell secure.” (St. Jerome) Bible Text & Cross-references: The prophet teacheth us to flee to God in tribulation, with confidence in him. 1 Unto the end, in verses. A psalm for David. 2 When I called upon him, the God of my justice heard me: when I was in distress, thou hast enlarged me. Have mercy on me: and hear my prayer. 3 O ye sons of men, how long will you be dull of heart? why do you love vanity, and seek after lying? 4 Know ye also that the Lord hath made his holy one wonderful: the Lord will hear me when I shall cry unto him. 5 *Be ye angry, and sin not: the things you say in your hearts, be sorry for them upon your beds. 6 Offer up the sacrifice of justice, and trust in the Lord: many say, Who sheweth us good things? 7 The light of thy countenance, O Lord, is signed upon us: thou hast given gladness in my heart. 8 By the fruit of their corn, their wine, and oil, they are multiplied. 9 In peace in the self same I will sleep, and I will rest: 10 For thou, O Lord, singularly hast settled me in hope.
