1 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 the lie? Selah.

3 But know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself; the Lord will hear when I call unto him.

4 Stand in awe, and sin not; meditate in your heart upon your bed, and desist. Selah.

5 Offer 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 up the light of thy countenance upon us.

7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart in the time that their grain and their wine multiplied.

8 I will both lay me down in peace and sleep: for thou only, O Lord, dost make me to be confident.
