1 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have enlarged me in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

2 O you sons of men, how long will you turn My glory into shame? Will you love vanity and seek after falsehood? Selah.

3 But know that Jehovah has set apart the godly for Himself. Jehovah hears when I call unto Him.

4 Tremble, and sin not; commune within your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and trust in Jehovah.

6 There are many who say, Who will show us any good? Jehovah, lift up the light of Your countenance upon us.

7 You have put gladness in my heart, more than during the time when their grain and their wine increased.

8 I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; for You alone, Jehovah, make me dwell in safety.
