1Unto the end, in verses. A psalm for David.
1Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. Give me relief from my distress. Have mercy on 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.
2You sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? Will you 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?
3But know that the LORD has set apart for himself him who is godly; The LORD will hear when I call to him.
4Know ye also that the Lord hath made his holy one wonderful: the Lord will hear me when I shall cry unto him.
4Stand in awe, and don’t sin. Search your own heart on 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.
5Offer the sacrifices of righteousness. Put your trust in the LORD.
6Offer up the sacrifice of justice, and trust in the Lord: many say, Who sheweth us good things?
6Many say, “Who will show us any good?” LORD, let the light of your face shine on us.
7The light of thy countenance O Lord, is signed upon us: thou hast given gladness in my heart.
7You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.
8By the fruit of their corn, their wine and oil, they are multiplied.
8In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me live in safety.
9In peace in the selfsame I will sleep, and I will rest:
