[1] Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness; Thou hast set me at large when I was in distress: Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
[2] O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? How longwill ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? [Selah
[3] But know that Jehovah hath set apart for himself him that is godly: Jehovah 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 Jehovah.
[6] Many there are that say, Who will show us any good? Jehovah, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
[7] Thou hast put gladness in my heart, More thanthey havewhen their grain and their new wine are increased.
[8] In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; For thou, Jehovah, alone makest me dwell in safety.
