1: Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast
enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my
prayer. |
|
2: O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame?
how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah. |
|
3:
But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for
himself: the LORD 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
the LORD. |
|
6: There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift
thou up the light of thy countenance upon us. |
|
7: Thou hast 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 thou, LORD,
only makest me dwell in safety. |
