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.

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.

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

1 When I call, answer me, OGod of my righteousness: in pressure thou hast enlarged me; be gracious unto me, and hear my prayer.

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

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

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.

2 Ye sons of men, till when is my glory [to be put] to shame? [How long] will ye love vanity, will ye seek after a lie? Selah.

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

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

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

3 But know that Jehovah hath set apart the pious [man] for himself: Jehovah will hear when I call unto him.

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

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

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

4 Be moved with anger, and sin not; meditate in your own hearts upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

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

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

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

5 Offer sacrifices of righteousness, and confide in Jehovah.

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

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

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

6 Many say, Who shall cause us to see good? Lift up upon us the light of thy countenance, O Jehovah.

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

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

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

7 Thou hast put joy in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their new wine was in abundance.

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

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

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

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