1For the end, a Song of David among [the ]Psalms.
1Hear 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.
2When I called upon [him], the God of my righteousness heard me: thou hast made room for me in tribulation; pity me, and hearken to my prayer.
2O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.
3O ye sons of men, how long [will ye be] slow of heart? wherefore do ye love vanity, and seek falsehood? Pause.
3But know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the Lord will hear when I call unto him.
4But know ye that the Lord has done wondrous things for his holy one: the Lord will hear me when I cry to him.
4Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.
5Be ye angry, and sin not; feel compunction upon your beds for what ye say in your hearts. Pause.
5Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the Lord.
6Offer the sacrifice of righteousness, and trust in the Lord.
6There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? Lord, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
7Many say, Who will shew us good things? the light of thy countenance, O Lord, has been manifested towards us.
7Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.
8Thou hast put gladness into my heart: they have been satisfied with the fruit of their corn and wine and oil.
8I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety.
