Hear me when I cry, 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 wine
increased.
8 I will both lay me down in
peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord,
only makest me dwell in safety.
