1 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: you have enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.

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

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

4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart on 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 show us any good? LORD, lift you up the light of your countenance on us.

7 You have 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 you, LORD, only make me dwell in safety.

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 long will 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 than they have when 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.
