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.
