To the chief musician on Neginoth, a psalm of David
1
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 show 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.
