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 ^athe LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him. ⁴ Stand ^bin awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah. ⁵ Offer ^cthe sacrifices of righteousness, and ^dput your trust in the LORD. ⁶ There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? ^eLORD, 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: ^ffor thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.
