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.
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
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.
