1 Hear 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.
-
2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.
-
3 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.
-
4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.
-
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
-
6 There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
-
7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.
-
8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.

- 1 Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved me in my distress; Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.
- 2 O sons of men, how long will my honor become a reproach? How long will you love what is worthless and aim at deception? Selah.
- 3 But know that the LORD has set apart the godly man for Himself; The LORD hears when I call to Him.
- 4 Tremble, and do not sin; Meditate in your heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.
- 5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, And trust in the LORD.
- 6 Many are saying, “Who will show us any good?” Lift up the light of Your countenance upon us, O LORD!
- 7 You have put gladness in my heart, More than when their grain and new wine abound.
- 8 In peace I will both lie down and sleep, For You alone, O LORD, make me to dwell in safety.
