To the chief musician upon stringed instruments:{HR}A Psalm of David.{HR}When I call, answer thou me,{HR}O God of my righteousness;{HR}In adversity thou hast made room for me:{HR}Be merciful to me and hear my prayer.
Ye sons of men, how long [shall] my glory [be] for a shame?{HR}Ye love vanity, ye seek a lie. Selah.
But know ye that Jehovah hath set apart him that is godly for himself:{HR}Jehovah heareth when I call unto him.
Tremble and sin not;{HR}Commune in your heart upon your bed and be still. Selah.
Sacrifice the sacrifices of righteousness,{HR}And trust in Jehovah.
Many are saying, "Who will show us good?"{HR}Lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us, O Jehovah.
Thou hast put joy into my heart{HR}More than at the time their corn and their wine were increased.
In peace I will both lie down and sleep,{HR}For thou alone, O Jehovah, causest me to dwell safely.
