1To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm of David. 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.
2O ye sons of men, how long [will ye turn] my glory into shame? [how long] will ye love vanity, [and] seek after falsehood? Selah.
3But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call to him.
4Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.
5Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
6[There are] many that say, Who will show us [any] good? LORD, lift thou upon us the light of thy countenance.
7Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time [when] their corn and their wine increased.
8I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep; for thou only, LORD, makest me dwell in safety.
