1

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 leasing? Selah.

3

But know that the \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w** hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w** 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 \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w**.

6

There be* many that say, Who will shew us any* good? \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w**, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

7

Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that* their corn and their wine increased.

8

I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w**, only makest me dwell in safety.
