Psalm 4

Psalm 4:1-8 ( Amplified Bible)
1ANSWER ME when I call, O God of my righteousness (uprightness, justice, and right standing with You)! You have freed me when I was hemmed in and enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me and hear my prayer.
2O you sons of men, how long will you turn my honor and glory into shame? How long will you love vanity and futility and seek after lies? Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!

3But know that the Lord has set apart for Himself [and given distinction to] him who is godly [the man of loving-kindness]. The Lord listens and heeds when I call to Him.

4Be angry [or stand in awe] and sin not; commune with your own hearts upon your beds and be silent (sorry for the things you say in your hearts). Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!(A)

5Offer just and right sacrifices; trust (lean on and be confident) in the Lord.

6Many say, Oh, that we might see some good! Lift up the light of Your countenance upon us, O Lord.

7You have put more joy and rejoicing in my heart than [they know] when their wheat and new wine have yielded abundantly.

8In peace I will both lie down and sleep, for You, Lord, alone make me dwell in safety and confident trust.

KING JAMES VERSION
1Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

2O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.

3But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.

4Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

5Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.

6There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

7Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.

8I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.

I think that it is great that someone has started posted daily Bible verses on here. Anyone remember Jack in the Green used to post them?

Yep what ever happened to him?

Don't know, maybe Rock can fill us in.

Seems like I recall him saying something about being so busy he didn't have the time to post on the forum anymore.... I think he "signed off" more or less.

It has been almost a year hasn't it? He always seeemed to be able to calm the discussions down when they got a little too heated.

That's what I was thinking - a year-ish or so.
He had a good head on his shoulders.

Thats about all I could remember as well

His last post was August 2006, something about officially retiring from the forum.

BTW, weedeater, glad to see you have taken it on to continue/start back the "verse of the day" for all of us.

You are welcome. I will only be on here through next week because vacation time is around the corner. I hope someone else will continue it.
