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