1 To the Overseer with Stringed Instruments. -- A Psalm of David. In my calling answer Thou me, O God of my righteousness. In adversity Thou gavest enlargement to me; Favour me, and hear my prayer.2 Sons of men! till when [is] my glory for shame? Ye love a vain thing, ye seek a lie. Selah.3 And know ye that Jehovah Hath separated a saintly one to Himself. Jehovah heareth in my calling to Him.4 `Tremble ye, and do not sin;` Say ye [thus] in your heart on your bed, And be ye silent. Selah.5 Sacrifice ye sacrifices of righteousness, And trust ye unto Jehovah.6 Many are saying, `Who doth show us good?` Lift on us the light of Thy face, O Jehovah,7 Thou hast given joy in my heart, From the time their corn and their wine Have been multiplied.8 In peace together I lie down and sleep, For Thou, O Jehovah, alone, In confidence dost cause me to dwell!

1 Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness; thou hast set me at large when I was in distress: have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

2 O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonour? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? 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: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah

5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.

6 Many there be that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than they have when their corn and their wine are increased.

8 In peace will I both lay me down and sleep: for thou, LORD, alone makest me dwell in safety.
