1 To the Overseer with Stringed Instruments. -- A Psalm of David. In my calling answer Thou me, O God of my righteousness. In adversity Thou gavest enlargement to me; Favour me, and hear my prayer.
|
1 Answer me when I call to you, O my righteous God. Give me relief from my distress; be merciful to me and hear my prayer.
|
|
2 Sons of men! till when [is] my glory for shame? Ye love a vain thing, ye seek a lie. Selah.
|
2 How long, O men, will you turn my glory into shame ? How long will you love delusions and seek false gods ? "Selah"
|
|
3 And know ye that Jehovah Hath separated a saintly one to Himself. Jehovah heareth in my calling to Him.
|
3 Know that the LORD has set apart the godly for himself; the LORD will hear when I call to him.
|
|
4 `Tremble ye, and do not sin;' Say ye [thus] in your heart on your bed, And be ye silent. Selah.
|
4 In your anger do not sin; when you are on your beds, search your hearts and be silent. "Selah"
|
|
5 Sacrifice ye sacrifices of righteousness, And trust ye unto Jehovah.
|
5 Offer right sacrifices and trust in the LORD.
|
|
6 Many are saying, `Who doth show us good?' Lift on us the light of Thy face, O Jehovah,
|
6 Many are asking, "Who can show us any good?" Let the light of your face shine upon us, O LORD.
|
|
7 Thou hast given joy in my heart, From the time their corn and their wine Have been multiplied.
|
7 You have filled my heart with greater joy than when their grain and new wine abound.
|
|
8 In peace together I lie down and sleep, For Thou, O Jehovah, alone, In confidence dost cause me to dwell!
|
8 I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
