1 For the end, a Song of David among the Psalms.

2 When I called upon him, the God of my righteousness heard me:

Thou hast made room for me in tribulation;

Pity me, and hearken to my prayer.

3 O ye sons of men, how long will ye be slow of heart?

Wherefore do ye love vanity, and seek falsehood? Pause.

4 But know ye that the Lord has done wondrous things for his holy one:

The Lord will hear me when I cry to him.

5 Be ye angry, and sin not;

Feel compunction upon your beds

For what ye say in your hearts. Pause.

6 Offer the sacrifice of righteousness,

And trust in the Lord.

7 Many say, Who will show us good things?

The light of thy countenance, O Lord, has been manifested toward us.

8 Thou hast put gladness into my heart:

They have been satisfied with the fruit of their corn and wine and oil.

9 I will both lie down in peace and sleep:

For thou, Lord, only hast caused me to dwell securely.
