 1 To the Chief Musician, for stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness. You gave room to me in trouble. Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer. 2 O sons of men, how long will you turn my glory into shame? Will you love vanity and seek after a lie? Selah. 3 But know that the Lord has set apart the godly for Himself. The Lord hears when I call to Him. 4 Tremble, and do not sin. Speak within your own heart on your bed and be still. Selah. 5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and trust in the Lord. 6 There are many who say, Who will show us any good? Lord, lift up the light of your face on us. 7 You have put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their grain and their wine increased. 8 I will lie down, both in peace and in sleep. For you alone, Lord, make me live in safety.
