1 (For the one directing. With stringed instruments. Mizmor Dovid)

2 Hear me when I call, Elohei tzidki (O G-d of my righteousness);

Thou hast relieved me when I was in distress;

channeini, and hear my tefillah.

3 O ye Bnei Ish,

how long will ye turn my kavod into shame?

How long will ye love delusion,

and seek kazav (lie, falsehood)? Selah

4 But know that Hashem hath set apart the chasid for Himself;

Hashem will hear when I call unto Him.

5 Be angry, yet sin not;

commune with your own levav upon your mishkav,

and be still. Selah

6 Offer the zivkhei-tzedek,

and put your trust in Hashem.

7 There be many that say, Who will show us any tov?

Hashem, lift Thou up the ohr of Thy countenance upon us.

8 Thou hast put simcha in my lev,

more than in the time that their dagan and their tirosh increased.

9 In shalom I will both lay me down, and sleep,

for Thou alone, Hashem, makest me dwell in safety.
