¹ For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. 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.
