Verse 1

To the chief Musician{H5329}{(H8764)} on Neginoth{H5058}, A Psalm{H4210} of David{H1732}. Hear{H6030}{(H8798)} me when I call{H7121}{(H8800)}, O God{H430} of my righteousness{H6664}: thou hast enlarged{H7337}{(H8689)} me when I was in distress{H6862}; have mercy{H2603}{(H8798)} upon me, and hear{H8085}{(H8798)} my prayer{H8605}.

Verse 2

O ye sons{H1121} of men{H376}, how long{H5704} will ye turn my glory{H3519} into shame{H3639}? how long will ye love{H157}{(H8799)} vanity{H7385}, and seek{H1245}{(H8762)} after leasing{H3577}? Selah{H5542}.

Verse 3

But know{H3045}{(H8798)} that the LORD{H3068} hath set apart{H6395}{(H8689)} him that is godly{H2623} for himself: the LORD{H3068} will hear{H8085}{(H8799)} when I call{H7121}{(H8800)} unto him.

Verse 4

Stand in awe{H7264}{(H8798)}, and sin{H2398}{(H8799)} not: commune{H559}{(H8798)} with your own heart{H3824} upon your bed{H4904}, and be still{H1826}{(H8798)}. Selah{H5542}.

Verse 5

Offer{H2076}{(H8798)} the sacrifices{H2077} of righteousness{H6664}, and put your trust{H982}{(H8798)} in the LORD{H3068}.

Verse 6

There be many{H7227} that say{H559}{(H8802)}, Who will shew{H7200}{(H8686)} us any good{H2896}? LORD{H3068}, lift thou up{H5375}{(H8798)} the light{H216} of thy countenance{H6440} upon us.

Verse 7

Thou hast put{H5414}{(H8804)} gladness{H8057} in my heart{H3820}, more than in the time{H6256} that their corn{H1715} and their wine{H8492} increased{H7231}{(H8804)}.

Verse 8

I will both{H3162} lay me down{H7901}{(H8799)} in peace{H7965}, and sleep{H3462}{(H8799)}: for thou, LORD{H3068}, only{H910} makest me dwell{H3427}{(H8686)} in safety{H983}.
