| 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. |
