| 1 To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. A psalm of David. Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved me in my distress; Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer. |
| 2 How long, O you sons of men, Will you turn my glory to shame? How long will you love worthlessness And seek falsehood? Selah |
| 3 But know that the LORD has set apart for Himself him who is godly; The LORD will hear when I call to Him. |
| 4 Be angry, and do not sin. Meditate within your heart on your bed, and be still. Selah |
| 5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, And put your trust in the LORD. |
| 6 There are many who say, "Who will show us any good?" LORD, lift up the light of Your countenance upon us. |
| 7 You have put gladness in my heart, More than in the season that their grain and wine increased. |
| 8 I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; For You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety. |
