| 1 | ¶ [To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.] When I call, answer me, O God of my righteousness: in pressure thou hast enlarged me; be gracious unto me, and hear my prayer. | |
| 2 | Ye sons of men, till when is my glory {to be put} to shame? {How long} will ye love vanity, will ye seek after a lie? Selah. | |
| 3 | But know that Jehovah hath set apart the pious {man} for himself: Jehovah will hear when I call unto him. | |
| 4 | Be moved with anger, and sin not; meditate in your own hearts upon your bed, and be still. Selah. | |
| 5 | Offer sacrifices of righteousness, and confide in Jehovah. | |
| 6 | ¶ Many say, Who shall cause us to see good? Lift up upon us the light of thy countenance, O Jehovah. | |
| 7 | Thou hast put joy in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their new wine was in abundance. | |
| 8 | In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; for thou, Jehovah, alone makest me to dwell in safety. | |
