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 lies? Selah. ³ But know that the LORD has set apart him who is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call to him. ⁴ Stand in awe, and do not sin: speak with your heart on your bed, and be still. Selah. ⁵ Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD. ⁶ There are many that say, Who will show us any good? LORD, lift up the light of your countenance on us. ⁷ You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their corn and their wine increased. ⁸ I will both lay down in peace, and sleep: for you, LORD, alone make me dwell in safety.
