**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.

**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.
