To the chief Musician on Neginoth
, A Psalm
of David
. 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
.
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
.
But know that the LORD
hath set apart
him that is godly
for himself: the LORD
will hear
when I call
unto him.
Stand in awe, and sin
not: commune
with your own heart
upon your bed
, and be still
. Selah
.
Offer the sacrifices
of righteousness
, and put your trust
in the LORD
.
There be many that say
, Who will shew
us any good
? LORD
, lift thou up
the light
of thy countenance
upon us.
Thou hast put gladness
in my heart
, more than in the time
that their corn
and their wine
increased
.
I will both lay me down
in peace
, and sleep
: for thou, LORD
, only
makest me dwell
in safety
.
