For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. Answer{H6030} me when I call,{H7121} O God{H430} of my righteousness;{H6664} Thou hast set me at large{H7337} [when I was] in distress:{H6862} Have mercy{H2603} upon me, and hear{H8085} my prayer.{H8605}

O ye sons{H1121} of men,{H376} how long{H5704} shall my glory{H3519} be turned into dishonor?{H3639} [How long] will ye love{H157} vanity,{H7385} and seek{H1245} after falsehood?{H3577} {Selah}{H5542}

But know{H3045} that Jehovah{H3068} hath set apart{H6395} for himself him that is godly:{H2623} Jehovah{H3068} will hear{H8085} when I call{H7121} unto him.

Stand in awe,{H7264} and sin{H2398} not: Commune{H559} with your own heart{H3824} upon your bed,{H4904} and be still.{H1826} {Selah}{H5542}

Offer{H2076} the sacrifices{H2077} of righteousness,{H6664} And put your trust{H982} in Jehovah.{H3068}

Many{H7227} there are that say,{H559} Who will show{H7200} us [any] good?{H2896} Jehovah,{H3068} lift thou up{H5375} the light{H216} of thy countenance{H6440} upon us.

Thou hast put{H5414} gladness{H8057} in my heart,{H3820} More than [they have] when{H6256} their grain{H1715} and their new wine{H8492} are increased.{H7231}

In peace{H7965} will I both{H3162} lay me down{H7901} and sleep;{H3462} For thou, Jehovah,{H3068} alone{H910} makest me dwell{H3427} in safety.{H983}
