1Unto the end, in verses. A psalm for David.
1(4-1) For the Leader; with string-music. A Psalm of David. (4-2) Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness, Thou who didst set me free when I was in distress; be gracious unto me, and hear my prayer.
2When I called upon him, the God of my justice heard me: when I was in distress, thou hast enlarged me. Have mercy on me: and hear my prayer.
2(4-3) O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be put to shame, in that ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? Selah
3O ye sons of men, how long will you be dull of heart? why do you love vanity, and seek after lying?
3(4-4) But know that the LORD hath set apart the godly man as His own; the LORD will hear when I call unto Him.
4Know ye also that the Lord hath made his holy one wonderful: the Lord will hear me when I shall cry unto him.
4(4-5) Tremble, and sin not; commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah
5Be angry, and sin not: the things you say in your hearts, be sorry for them upon your beds.
5(4-6) Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
6Offer up the sacrifice of justice, and trust in the Lord: many say, Who sheweth us good things?
6(4-7) Many there are that say: 'Oh that we could see some good!' LORD, lift Thou up the light of Thy countenance upon us.
7The light of thy countenance O Lord, is signed upon us: thou hast given gladness in my heart.
7(4-8) Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than when their corn and their wine increase.
8By the fruit of their corn, their wine and oil, they are multiplied.
8(4-9) In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; for Thou, LORD, makest me dwell alone in safety.
9In peace in the selfsame I will sleep, and I will rest:
