¹ To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm of David. 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.¹²

1. chief...: or, overseer
2. have...: or, be gracious unto me

² O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? Selah.

³ But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call to 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 are many that say, Who will show us any good? LORD, lift thou upon us the light of thy countenance.

⁷ Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time when their grain and their wine increased.

⁸ I will both lie down in peace, and sleep: for thou only, LORD, makest me dwell in safety.
