¹ To the chief music-maker on corded instruments. A Psalm. Of David. Give answer to my cry, O God of my righteousness; make me free from my troubles; have mercy on me, and give ear to my prayer. ² O you sons of men, how long will you go on turning my glory into shame? how long will you give your love to foolish things, going after what is false? I Selah. ³ See how the Lord has made great his mercy for me; the Lord will give ear to my cry. ⁴ Let there be fear in your hearts, and do no sin; have bitter feelings on your bed, but make no sound. I Selah. ⁵ Give the offerings of righteousness, and put your faith in the Lord. ⁶ There are numbers who say, Who will do us any good? the light of his face has gone from us. ⁷ Lord, you have put joy in my heart, more than they have when their grain and their wine are increased. ⁸ I will take my rest on my bed in peace, because you only, Lord, keep me safe.
