1 Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness.

Give me relief from my distress.

Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.

2 You sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor?

Will you love vanity and seek after falsehood? Selah.

3 But know that Yahweh has set apart for himself him who is godly;

Yahweh will hear when I call to him.

4 Stand in awe, and don’t sin.

Search your own heart on your bed, and be still. Selah.

5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness.

Put your trust in Yahweh.

6 Many say, "Who will show us any good?"

Yahweh, let the light of your face shine on us.

7 You have put gladness in my heart,

more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.

8 In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep,

for you alone, Yahweh, make me live in safety.

1 To the Overcomer in 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.

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.:
