To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm of David.
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 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 There be many 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 in the time that their corn and their wine increased.
8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep:
For thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.
