1Unto the end, in verses. A psalm for David.

1To the Overseer with Stringed Instruments. --A Psalm of David. In my calling answer Thou me, O God of my righteousness. In adversity Thou gavest enlargement to me; Favour me, and hear my prayer.

1 Give answer to my cry, O God of my righteousness; make me free from my troubles; have mercy on me, and give ear to my prayer.

1Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness; Thou hast set me at large when I was in distress: Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

2When I called upon him, the God of my justice heard me: when I was in distress, thou hast enlarged me. Have mercy on me: and hear my prayer.

2Sons of men! till when <FI>is<Fi> my glory for shame? Ye love a vain thing, ye seek a lie. Selah.

2O you sons of men, how long will you go on turning my glory into shame? how long will you give your love to foolish things, going after what is false? (Selah.)

2O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? How longwill ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? [Selah

3O ye sons of men, how long will you be dull of heart? why do you love vanity, and seek after lying?

3And know ye that Jehovah Hath separated a saintly one to Himself. Jehovah heareth in my calling to Him.

3See how the Lord has made great his mercy for me; the Lord will give ear to my cry.

3But know that Jehovah hath set apart for himself him that is godly: Jehovah will hear when I call unto him.

4Know ye also that the Lord hath made his holy one wonderful: the Lord will hear me when I shall cry unto him.

4`Tremble ye, and do not sin;' Say ye <FI>thus<Fi> in your heart on your bed, And be ye silent. Selah.

4Let there be fear in your hearts, and do no sin; have bitter feelings on your bed, but make no sound. (Selah.)

4Stand in awe, and sin not: Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. [Selah

5Be ye angry, and sin not: the things you say in your hearts, be sorry for them upon your beds.

5Sacrifice ye sacrifices of righteousness, And trust ye unto Jehovah.

5Give the offerings of righteousness, and put your faith in the Lord.

5Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, And put your trust in Jehovah.

6Offer up the sacrifice of justice, and trust in the Lord: many say, Who sheweth us good things?

6Many are saying, `Who doth show us good?' Lift on us the light of Thy face, O Jehovah,

6There are numbers who say, Who will do us any good? the light of his face has gone from us.

6Many there are that say, Who will show us any good? Jehovah, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

7The light of thy countenance, O Lord, is signed upon us: thou hast given gladness in my heart.

7Thou hast given joy in my heart, From the time their corn and their wine Have been multiplied.

7Lord, you have put joy in my heart, more than they have when their grain and their wine are increased.

7Thou hast put gladness in my heart, More thanthey havewhen their grain and their new wine are increased.

8By the fruit of their corn, their wine, and oil, they are multiplied:

8In peace together I lie down and sleep, For Thou, O Jehovah, alone, In confidence dost cause me to dwell!

8I will take my rest on my bed in peace, because you only, Lord, keep me safe.

8In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; For thou, Jehovah, alone makest me dwell in safety.

9In peace in the self same I will sleep, and I will rest:
